A good hotel but needs improvement

The hotel overall is okay. I just wish that their check in would be faster. I waited for about 15minutes to get checked in. Also the shampoo was rancid. It did not make any foam. The hotel was clean and their breakfast was good.

I like the property and the customer service. I didn't like the understaffed service, the gentleman had to attend many customers all himself. He was very polite and respectful but being by himself made the check in process longer. I also didn't like the shower drain being partially plugged and I had to shower in a pool like.

Stayed for one night. The hotel is clean and they do have a friendly staff. The room was clean. However they only gave me one bath towel. The bath towel was too small. The free breakfast was quite basic. If you need to use their shuttle service, you need to reserve ahead of time. They only have a small van and it fills up quite quickly.

it all started when I tried calling the hotel to ask a question they wouldn’t answer the phones at all. Second customer service was very bad at check in , they even asked me to send them the receipt where I had pre paid my stay, which I thought was weird because it should automatically come up in their system! Third, the room was not what the pictures looked online. The bathroom situation was the worst part where all the water came out of the shower. This will be the last time I stay at a city express.
