Pros +

  • Location, bed, pillows, shower pressure
  • Location and dog freindly
  • Location

Cons -

  • No
  • cost of parking was a surprise
  • The lobby was nice and felt upscale, but once we got off of the elevator on our floor, it felt cramped and a little dingy. We were given a room right next to the ice machine and could hear everything. The doors and walls are thin. We paid too much.

Thin walls, we could hear everything in surrounding rooms. Not sure if that was because we got put in a room that was next to construction of maintenance pipes. We were abruptly woken up to says maintenance right outside room.
