I checked in early. Only room available had window shade that would not rise as the gears were stripped, the water stuttered out of the bathroom faucet, the water hot/cold control wax reversed, and the rug felt wet from the humidity. The front desk graciously changed our room the next day. Thank goodness the new room was right over the 4AM garbage pickup as I really enjoy waking to very loud banging. The $10/d parking charges are also not obvious at reservation. I am glad I did not have an car. Otherwise, the room had very spacious accommodations. Breakfast was a nice bonus. The staff was very nice.
