$40 a day to park is outrageous, even in these times. Next time I will look for more reasonable options. Also housekeeping wanted to get in my room at 8:30 a.m. when checkout was supposedly at 11:00.

They only had one of three elevators working. It made it very difficult to use the elevator unless you wanted to wait 15 minutes. They didn’t have enough parking, even though I got a parking pass when I checked in, I had to park offsite on our second night. When I checked in, there was no mention of the lack of parking. So when I went to get my car, I had to evade the homeless people smoking heroin on my way to the offsite parking structure .

Staff was friendly, hotel itself was decent. Rooms were clean. Downside is parking is very limited and had to find parking for both of our nights about 2 blocks away. At the time they only had one working elevator which was an inconvenience but not a deal breaker as we just took the stairs. Luckily we were on the 3rd floor so not too bad.

Well to start, the elevators we not working. There was only 1 functional elevator that made it difficult to take and this was due to business of the facility. The employees were not familiarized with the facilility and did not know escalators route. It appeared that we had to figure it out on our own. Despite this inconvenience, we were still charge the $40/night parking. Then, once i finally made to my room, there was a bandaide hanging from the ceiling. We called to have it removed, but no one ever came.
