    "None of the rooms"
    "Do not book at this hotel. There is no such thing as a "good room.""
    "Suppose to have free wifi. Wifi was not working. Our room was dirty and smelly."
    "There are ground level and upper level rooms, I definitely found the upper level more convenient."
    "Not sure how one would have rated this area without being violating some PC rule."
