Nancy, 4-night trip

4/10 Fair

Standard - limited comfort
This is a standard hotel - no comfort and not sure why a 4 star. 1 pillow each, teabags within paper that looked like they were shuffled around the rooms for a year and towels that have been hardened with over use and washing. This is a 3 star and there are better hotels in the city for the same price and some cases a lower price
