There was no enough parking for our vehicle at night and we had to park on the street with lots of homeless about. The toilet kept getting stuck and wasting water. The staff in the breakfast room and front desk were nice, but needed help during the busy breakfast and afternoon check in times.

The curtains cannot block out the light, so the brightness in the early morning affects my sleep. The hotel has very few parking spaces, although it’s possible to find parking along the street.
