Location was perfect. The room was clean and had everything I needed, except that I couldn't figure out how to use the coffee maker. Better instructions are needed. It was also not clear on your website that the parking was not free ($15/night).

Deceptive comments by GM in prior response she made to customer comment about being happy customer enjoyed seasonal pool. It wasn't open then and isn't now. Parking fee states " covered is 15$ a day" leaving you to wonder if uncovered is free...it is also 15 which is vaguely deceptive. Underground parking appears to not have been power washed in over a decade. Many other odd and gross issues here. 100% never again...suggest you find a better place not owned by nearly bankrupt ashford properties
