4/10 Fair

We were supposed to get a king bed but got 2 queens. I was also disappointed to find out during check in that parking was not free. It is one thing to pay for valet parking but totally inappropriate to pay for self park. I was told it was because they hired security - I did not see any security presence. You would also think that with having to pay for parking that the lot would be plowed, it was not plowed.
Elliot, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Checking in was great, the room was pleasantly large and very comfy. However there were dirty finger prints all over the glass on the cabinets and hair on the shower wall and it was a put off. But breakfast was great, the lady running it was such a blessing. I will say, we were here because my husband had an early appointment at the hospital and would be there for several hours so after I dropped him off, I went back to the hotel to get ready for the day and figure out what I was going to do until he was done, I didnt plan on leaving until CHECK OUT WHICH IS 11. And I kid you not, houekeeping knocked on my door every 15 minutes starting at 9:00 am until I finally got so annoyed and left around 10:30 even after I told them I wasnt leaving until 11:00.
