I couldn’t connect to the internet to work. Wine advertised wasn’t in stock so had to buy a more expensive bottle. Fridge sound kept me up all night. Motion sensor light for room and bedside kept going off on its own. A/c turned off on it’s on throughout night before ever reaching desired temp. Food stain in elevator. $25 parking fee not advertised on Hotels.com Called front desk in am to report. Said manager would call me today. No call received.

Nice clean room with lots of space. Beds were comfy enough. Hotel offers late check out. I went down the night before to request late checkout. Was told to call in the morning before 9am or request on the app. I used the app later that night. Then called before 9am to confirm. Was told I called too late and should have called earlier. Although, I had tried the night before. Would still stay again.
