 Stargazer Hotel

Stargazer Hotel

8/10 Good
"I miss the human contact. Definitely a bots/ kiosk is not for me. Not a fan of codes. -No coffee cups in the office, so I couldn’t drink anything and didn’t have any in room, that’s why a real human is needed it because people take them all. -Grounds like steps and walking paths to rooms should be cleaned and washed often. Housekeepers were unfriendly. -Had some small issues with my stay but they were resolved by staff members, I appreciate that. -Hotel is eager to families also our room didn’t have a fire detector."
