Hotel Paradox, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"Quiet room on back side of building with great beds! There is not much room to store luggage though, and could use a love seat or something for more seating. Also the tub floor was 8" taller than the bathroom floor so getting out of the shower or bath is a fall risk - there were no hand rails to grab on to1"

10/10 Excellent

"We spent one night. -beds were clean and comfortable -shower was decent -room was clean and spacious -location was good, not too much street noise -air conditioner wasn’t loud -the parking spots are super tiny -hot tub area was dated, could use some sprucing up"
