First, we got hit with an $85 for the two nights. Then, $27 for each day parking. The price doesn't justify anymore. Need to pay attention to these before you book. Reception staff were great... very professional. But Cleaning cars hanging out by the elevators all the time, and staff chatting personal & loud on the phone throughout. Last but not least, we noticed the upgraded rooms - which were nice - but not a fully clean job - edges, behind furniture and bathrooms are professionally upgraded... openings on the walls, still concrete behind beds, we even killed a small roach the first day.

Bad

This hotel is close to universal but is poorly maintained. The lobby is clean and up to date but don’t let that fool you. The hallways have a strong musk smell. The rooms are outdated and not maintained. We stayed here because we spent most of our time outside of the room but if you want to enjoy your hotel do not stay here.
