The room was functional, but not great. our door didn't lock unless we slammed it, dogs on our floor were disruptive all night, and the "complimentary" breakfast ended at least 40 minutes before the stated time. The staff we interacted with were nice for the most part, but the experience overall leaves much to be desired.

Great as usual but just suck you have to pay for parking and it’s not valet, covered parking, secured parking, etc. Like why do I have to pay to park my car outside my window. Most places include that in the price. Paying $10 to park every night of your stay?
