Little things. Great room, but carpet under table hadn’t been vacuumed. Refrigerator noisy, but I closed the suite door and couldn’t hear it. Nice included breakfast, but the waffle machine delivered my waffle deconstructed. Overall it was just what I needed, close to perfect but not quite.

I liked the fact that I could walk to different places. The accommodations for our room were a problem. We spoke with the front desk because there were not any linens for the pull-out couch. Then, we were shocked in the morning to find out that there was not a hair dryer or enough towels when were on a time schedule to leave. I would expect that when you reserve a room for three, there would be more than one set of towels. Also, the valet seemed a little overwhelmed in the morning by himself.

Overall, okay but the common area was cold and not well ventilated. Slept on the sofa couch and was cold. Staff had no additional linen at the time, initial check-in female staff member was uninterested and rude. Was told there was free parking, yeah, on the street.

Didn’t like the attitude and nonchalant greeting of the parking valet which you encountered just going into the building. Didn’t know he was only for parking and not checking in. Had to check in upstairs and then back downstairs to get belongings from car, then back upstairs to a room. When you call the hotel for anything, they take forever to answer IF they answer!
