Business traveller
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
All the staff here seemed completely put upon to do their jobs. The front desk people were often not around, the person who checked me in was curt, just handed my keys, and didn't greet. I went to the restaurant a couple of times--each time it was just one person working who rarely came to the table. They all seemed annoyed to be working. My hotel room had stuffing coming out of the chair. There is no printing/business station, so if you need to print you have to email it to the front desk and wait for them to print, which is inconvenient. Parking is 25 a day but there is a lot nearby where you can park free on weekends. For the money, this hotel isn't worth it, to be honest.

Paying to park in their lot was an unwelcomed surprise. Waiting for the desk manager to stop complaining to staff about other guests while I stood there waiting for help was terrible. Customer service was lacking and bad attitudes are not ok for what I paid to stay.
