The hotel and area were nice. The only problem was that there were no eating establishments open after 8-9pm. We had to order by grub hub. No service in our room on one day. Parking is pretty steep too.

It’s hard to separate by the stars, I didn’t have a problem with the room cleanliness, the staff there did great making sure the room was clean. It was the front desk guy who checked us in was very rude. Also the ac unit was waking us up every 10 mins turning off and on when there was no setting to just keep it on. Staff didn’t care when it was brought to their attention. Also when doing the self parking the guy at the front desk when called was rude about where to park and there was no clear postage of where hotel guest can park.

- The shower was not draining properly and any use of it over 3 minutes would have flooded the bathroom. - The TV was working on/off all the time. - Closet doors were so badly adjusted that I thought they breank when opening them, very noisy and not practical. - Half the numbers on the safe were not working Bathroom door was very noisy and almost coming off the track on opening - Staff was very polite but probably one of the worst room I ever had, specially for that kind of money.
