1. TV did not work. Called to fix, said they came while we were gone, still did not work. 2. Maids never made up our room or gave us clean towels. 3. No coffee in the lobby unless you pay $4 per cup. 4. They charge for parking $12 per day (no, not valet, when you park yourself.) 5. Not even water to fill our bottles in the lobby the morning we left. 6. No comp bkfst even for Honors members. Bkfst ends up about $20 per person.

When we entered the room it smelled wet and like shoes and sweat. the carpet was dirty and felt wet. the pillows were super used and flat. We had to ask for extra pillows. We stayed for two nights and as much as i understand the water conservation initiatives and towels were not replaced every day atleast the beds should have been made the trash should have been taken. but no next morning when we came back the hotel it was all messy. it was not a pleasurable or comfortable stay at all.

The hotel was fine, and there were some food spots across the street from the hotel, so that was ok as well. But the fact that we were surprised by the parking fee and that it parking wasn't included in the room fee was disappointing to say the least. Further, we did have an iron mishap but the hotel management did their best to make it right, that was greatly appreciated.
