Hotel room was not sanitary

I liked the hotel and the location but one thing that was a huge turn - off was that i found a pubic hair in the sink after we checked in and it definitely was not mine. It's gross when you have to clean out a pubic hair from the last guest and it makes you wonder what else hasn't been cleaned well.

Had to pay for over priced parking. The only good thing was it was clean. I didn’t get my complementary wine. It was noisy so you hear the train in the mornings and lots of sirens. There valet is 42 dollars and the parking on the side is 30 dollars
