The evening front desk staff were excellent. However, the day manager was not. I was the only guest checking out but she told me she was " busy with paperwork " and would check me out later and send me an email with my final bill. Its now 12 hours later and no email or final bill. Parking is sketchy needing to go down an alleyway past garbage dumpsters which was problematic.
