Hotel Stay Review

Stay was great. Parking behind the hotel was good for the price. Room was clean. Pillows were a little squishy. But I just prefer a firmer pillow. All was great. Had the buffet breakfast and it was tasty. A little pricey for $17 per person, but we ate enough and it tasted good so worth the cost.

We were very upset that after reading there was an option of free self parking we were only given the option of valet parking for 35.00. Being on a fixed budget this put a strain on the visit. That should be fixed

Overall, this facility is well maintained. The location is convenient and room kept clean. A few things to need improvement - 1. Lobby is not at street level and there's no elevator to the street level. Either carry luggage through stairs or through garage driveway, which is a bit dangerous with cars popping in and out. 2. Room has lots of outlets - this is great! However, the lights aren't bright enough for reading. 3. No daily house keeping. Trash piling and no refill of coffee and fresh towels unless you contact receptionist. Well, after a day's activity, there's no energy left to deal with this sort of nuance.
