The scent in the lobby is very strong. I get what they are going for, but its ki d of like an overpowering cologne. Just too much if you ask me. Getting to the parking lot is weird...driving through a mcdonalds to get to it? Everything otherwise was fine. Nothing special so im unclear why it got the 9.4 rating. No coffee maker in the room. My wife said the sheets smelled unclean, but i cant say i noticed. One minor glitch, the housekeeper missed the do not disturb hanger on the door and came in around 8 am. She quickly apologized for the error. Not a big deal overall. My fault for not putting the lock on the door. Again it was an ok place. Medium 3 star place.
