Hotel Stay

Upon chucking in a young man was at the counter talking to another while a female was waiting on another couple. The two were looking at their phones and talking so I said can I check in please. He said, I’ll be with you in a minute. Then he walked off not to inform me he would return, he didn’t say anything but looked at his cell phone. After the girl helped the couple she immediately help me with checking in. She even provided a bag with two water, she was great. However, not only will you pay for your room, we found out we had to pay for parking at $12 a night which is totally unacceptable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Refrigerator leaked and got my suitcase and clothes all wet. Only one elevator worked and waited a long time to get up and down to the room. Only one staff checking in and waited 20-30 minutes to check in. The breakfast was gross, eggs and French toast was rubbery. They only clean your room every other day and wouldn’t bring us new towels after using all the towels to dry the floor. Only thing we liked was the Starbucks across the street and how large the room was.
