Parking was well lit an convenient. Breakfast was nice with good coffee. One thing we did not care for is that the garage, elevator and all the way up to our floor smelled of weed. Someone had clearly been smoking in the garage and it went right into the elevator cab and up to the hotel with them. Very off putting and made us feel as if we were staying in a shady area. Additionally the tub faucet was leaking and would not shut off entirely, which could be heard dripping all night long.
