Uncomfortable & Uneasy atmosphere

The room was fine; parking was convenient. However, there were several male employees gathered together - hanging out in front of the hotel entrance. Some were using profanity & it making me and another female guest uncomfortable.

There is no parking that is free with this hotel they make you pay for it. It’s also very confusing and when my mom called to ask about parking as we were driving around the hotel, the person told her that this was reservations and hung up in her ear. When we finally got into the hotel, they were very apologetic, but it was still a pretty crappy experience.
