In room 308, the bed by the window had a huge concave hole. I am sure there were many complaints about this bed before my arrival. Yet nothing has bed done.

Parking is challenging to get to & navigate (given nearby construction and narrow drive & low height - 5'8" sort of - of the parking garage, but staff directing you how to manage it were knowledgeable & fantastic. Bottled water made available in the room would have been appreciated.
