1. TV did not work. Called to fix, said they came while we were gone, still did not work. 2. Maids never made up our room or gave us clean towels. 3. No coffee in the lobby unless you pay $4 per cup. 4. They charge for parking $12 per day (no, not valet, when you park yourself.) 5. Not even water to fill our bottles in the lobby the morning we left. 6. No comp bkfst even for Honors members. Bkfst ends up about $20 per person.
