Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Pros: -The location was great and the staff were very nice. -The room as very spacious and mostly clean. Cons: -The bathroom needed more cleaning. There was gooey residue inside the drawers and the shower didn’t look like it had been cleaned from the previous stay. -There was no safe in the room. -We had to pay $23, plus tax & fees for parking, which was not disclosed on the room listing for Expedia. -They sold more parking permits than the spaces they had available. When we came in from a concert around midnight, we had to find parking on the street. I didn’t feel as safe parking and leaving my vehicle out there. Another person arriving then had the same problem. -We returned the parking permit and were told that the parking fees were taken off our reservation; however, when we went to checkout, they had not been removed.

Friendly staff but upon arriving we were told we would have to pay ANOTHER $23 plus tax for parking which was never disclosed and ridiculous. We would have never stayed there if we knew this ahead of time. Hotel itself was nice, staff was nice, this fee was ridiculous
