Hotel is outdated. House keeping kept bugging us, the knocked multiple times each day to check if we were in the room because they thought we were checking out and no one was in the room. There was no body wash, we asked for body wash, they gave us hand soap. When we checked in the lady said valet was $18/day, valet said it was $30/day. We opted to find our own parking. For an out dated hotel with no parking, we would have stayed somewhere else.

The room was very dated. Thick dirty dust on vents and some of light bulbs. Musty smell in room and pillows. When we first entered the room it was very hot. Air conditioner not working. Maintenance had to come to room and switch on the cool air. I will not stay at this hotel again due to the lack of cleanliness in the room.

Room was slightly dirty. Breakfast is very nice. Check-in was frustrating - they make you download the app and create an account for digital check-in to "skip the desk." Did all of that and then they told me I had to check in at the desk, ha.
