There was not enough parking. I had to park in the alley behind the property. I did not feel safe. Also the bedspread had a brown stain. Disgusting. The male at the desk didn't seem to care about anything. It seemed like we were interrupting him when we checked in.

Disappointed that the pool hours were listed 10am - 10pm and when I asked for them to open the front desk lady said it opens at 2pm. However, a cleaning guy saw my kids and I and asked if we were going to the pool. I told him what the front desk said and he said it opened at 11am and although it was 10:45am he open for us. Also disappointing was the continental breakfast that consisted of chocolate chip small muffins and coffee.

Was upset a little bit that it was 9:02, and she wouldn't let me have any coffee. I run a breakfast café in a hotel in California called the Irwin hotel. I leave fresh large craft of coffee out all day for my guest even after we close @ noon Just a suggestion😉
