The room was spacious and clean, and the breakfast is excellent. Check in is now only available through the contiguous Indigo Hotel - not a problem when it is fine, but would be inconvenient to have to walk around the block in rainy weather.

Something was coming out of the water in the shower. My son didn't realize it until he was done taking a shower. Not sure if it's because of construction but the maze we had to walk through to get to our rooms because check-in is at another part of the connected hotel is funny at best but inconvenient.

The check in process was extremely inconvenient. I also observed plenty of other guests being irritated by having to 1) get through the hotel doors AND THEN having to follow signs and then walk a long distance to get to another hotel’s check in desk entirely (from Holiday Inn Express all the way to Hotel Indigo) AND then all the way back to the guest elevators to get to the room. This was a negative first impression and very tiring for people who just wanted to settle in a rest. Also, house keeping asked us to leave the room so they could clean it. This was all challenging for two adults who are disabled. Also they had no water available in the Holiday Inn lobby except for the first day of our 3 day stay. Many other people were also confused and justifiably annoyed with all of these inconveniences.

The room was fine, clean. Breakfast was okay. I didn't know until the day before our stay that we would have to pay 40 dollars a day for parking and when I got there they said that the parking was 50. Showed them the email that I got that says 40. The lady at the front desk was nice and charged me 40 instead. I think if your already paying for a room you shouldn't have to pay that much or at all to park in their parking garage, but other than that it was fine.

The room was fine for the price and location, but the front desk was closed, which was EXTREMELY inconvenient for someone traveling with 3 heavy bags, as I had to walk about a half a block to check in at the other hotel. The reason I chose to checkout after 1 night is the treadmills don't work, and 6 days would have been to long of a stay with no cardio. The Bellman was friendly, and reached out to another hotel to allow me to use their gym, but this was way too inconvenient, considering the length of the stay. The hotel provided me with a free dinner coupon for the inconvenience. But their are TOO MANY inconveniences here to make this a choice for someone coming half way across the country.
