No Parking allowed. Terrible room!
The lady who checked us in was super nice. We complained about just getting into the hotel was hard. No parking signs every where but you have to park, check in and then come out and enter parking garage with your room key….very odd. Once inside and at the room. A/C was best barely 73° with thermostat set on 65 all night long. Bed sheets were very rough. Bed was hard ….bed was very hard. There was a bad smell. Hotel was supposed to be updated, but it still looked old. It won’t be my first choice of stay next time.
