Not worth the money
I was disappointed in my room. For the amount of money spent for one night, I was expecting to be wowed. It was just like any other hotel room to me. Not to mention, i was woken up by someone's yappy little dog barking in the room next to mine at 0630am. If i wanted to be woken up by barking dogs, I would've stayed home. Also, I thought it was ridiculous that I had to pay $20 to park my car in the parking lot across the street. For the price of the room, parking should have been included. And I had to park my own car, it wasn'teven valet parking. I will not stay at the Jefferson again.
