Everything was great until I was told I had to pay extra to keep my car there past check-out because we went to the game (literally the entire hotel was going). Ok, no problem, how much can it possibly be??? It was $40, cash only, which I find extremely shady to keep my car parked at the hotel for 4 extra hours. No where does it mention that hefty fee or that it requires cash. Thy know they have you stuck and you have no choice but to pay it. Any establishment that fails to tell you extra fees and only accepts cash which they keep in a plain white envelope is shady. I like the hotel and the morning front desk lady during the week is great! But I don't like surprise fees that are clearly taking advantage, under the table, of people from out of town who have no choice but to keep there car there.

The rating is for the check in experience - which seems like is more of an Expedia issue. Apparently my card was declined because of the expiration date. This caused rez to be cancelled. I was never notified. Thank goodness they had a room available but I had to pay more. This is very frustrating as I made this rez months ago. I have exceptional credit. Ridiculous . What an awful process and has made me question using Expedia in future. I have quite a few upcoming reservations that I will be canceling and going direct.

Overall, this was a very clean and pretty hotel. Very modern and updated. Biggest complaint was that the walls/floors are not sound proof. We were woken up by people a floor above us walking back and forth in their room because the beautiful hard floors do not lend themselves to the best choice for quiet rooms.

My room smells like cigarette smoke covered by febreeze. When someone from the lobby came up, she agreed. She brought some fabric spray with her and went to spray the curtains. I asked her not to spray because the scent on top of the cigarette smoke makes me nauseous. She sprayed anyways. She said she would see if there was another room available but she thought they were at capacity. She never got back to me one way or another.
