I would give them 5 but they have the thinnest blanket on the bed after spending 600.00 I felt like I needed to run to Target to buy a proper comforter go to sleep .The hotel only offered these very thin waffle blankets that reminded us of a hospital bed.This is totally unacceptable for that amount of money.
