Aubrey, May 2019
Pros (+) Location was perfect for our stay.
Cons (-) Parking was limited and expensive. They should offer free parking the rates they are charging for the mediocre rooms.

Cons (-) I went to my room after checking in, and it was “lived in” - messy beds, TV on, and dirty dishes. I was assigned a new room. It was obvious that the two beds were full sized beds, not queen sized. This was not what was advertised. I was there alone, so bed size didn’t impact me, but the bed size difference for a couple would be noticeable.

Pros (+) Design, very comfy bed, wonderful bathroom, great room service
Cons (-) No in-room movies (contrary to advertisement), Internet was down whole first night (also contrary to advertising), maids come into the room early despite the "do not disturb" sign...multiple times both days we stayed, front desk help was apathetic and snarky.
