Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Refrigerator leaked and got my suitcase and clothes all wet. Only one elevator worked and waited a long time to get up and down to the room. Only one staff checking in and waited 20-30 minutes to check in. The breakfast was gross, eggs and French toast was rubbery. They only clean your room every other day and wouldn’t bring us new towels after using all the towels to dry the floor. Only thing we liked was the Starbucks across the street and how large the room was.

You have to pay to park, which is normally not a problem except the QR code doesn’t work, the text function doesn’t work and you’re left with having to email the company. Seems like a lot of work for something that should just be handled at the front desk. Still not sure we’ve done it right and hope we don’t get towed.
