KSL Hotel & Resort

4/10 Poor
"Hotel windows were dirty n unwashed. Tried to catch a nice view of city but all I see were thick coat of brown dirt on the outside of window. Toilets were clean but badly maintained. Taking showers would cause outside floor to be wet. Low quality toilet roll. Hotel policy does not allow extra toilet floor mat, notwithstanding toilet floor being wet. No extra pillows even if you have a medical condition that requires you to sleep with some elevation."
