Clean room but hotel in a bad neighborhood

The room was clean, staff was courteous and friendly, good breakfast. Hotel is in a bad neighborhood. Parking lot is public and I was concerned that my car would be broken into. I paid for hotel parking in an underground garage.

I had a lovely stay. The staff was very accommodating. They were very patient and the housekeeping staff were some very lovely women. They also have a very nice park across the street where you can go sit in the grass and watch a beautiful fountain and you might even be blessed to hear a nice gentleman playing his clarinet in front of the capital

The hotel was better than expected. I really wish they would provide cleaner looking wash clothes and towels, as well as take more time cleaning the area surrounding the outside of the hotel. We didn't use any of the services that were included with our stay since it was a quick trip.

The staff was pleasent, breakfast had a good selection, and overlooking Bushnell Park was a pretty view. Outside of that it was all down hill. The smell of weed coming off the elevator knocks you off your feet, parking is very tight had trouble finding a spot for a normal size car, the walls are paper thin, righr next to a train, and the the bathroom towels were no bigger than hand towels.
