Park across the street at NAC for $12 weekend night rather than $60 at hotel. Rooms need updating. Difficult to plug in chargers. Heard people speaking (seemed like very normal voice levels) through walls, Few amenities in bathroom (q-tips, moisturizer; pool really poorly furnished; not enough chairs. Room decor tired. Most uncomfortable couch. Pillows mushy; need replacement.
