$70 for parking just for one night, and we didnt even check in until after midnight.

Room is a detected topic in the review material, establishing that accommodations are part of the feedback without indicating what particular room features guests discussed. The available illustrative comment focuses on check-in, amenities, and restaurant recommendations rather than the room itself, so it does not provide direct support for interpreting room sentiment or specific room attributes.

Evidence:

  • Room: percentage: 18.26%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 38.67%; sample reviews analyzed: 5,839

Friendly staff.
Complaint example
Before I could even explain further, the woman at the front desk jumped in and started yelling across the lobby, talking over me, and demanding to know what I was doing there.

One illustrative guest described the hotel as lovely and functional while identifying the front desk staff as the element that stood out. This account shows how service commentary can distinguish an interpersonal impression from the guest’s broader view of the property, although it remains one person’s description rather than evidence of a recurring pattern.

Evidence:

  • Service: percentage: 15.96%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 40.95%; sample reviews analyzed: 5,839
  • Illustrative service comment: It’s a lovely hotel, it’s functional, but there really isn’t anything that stands out about it for me, other than the front desk staff.

Location is a detected topic in the review material, showing that it forms part of the collected feedback without identifying the particular places, surroundings, or access details discussed. The available illustrative comment describes a standard room as spacious, so it does not provide direct evidence about location sentiment or clarify what guests meant when addressing location.

Evidence:

  • Location: percentage: 8.55%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 25.54%; sample reviews analyzed: 5,839
