Clean and Comfortable but no frills.

Pros: Check in with front desk was fast and friendly. Room was very clean, hot water no problem, channel info wasn't working so you had to go to the guide to see what exactly was on each channel, bed was comfortable, Coffee in lobby was good. Cons: Daily parking fee!! Yikes!! No access to bottled water in room or drinking water in hallway was disappointing. Hotel doors slamming all night, wifi was terrible (couldn't even text a picture), carpet in hallway and near elevator was dirty in the AM, breakfast was pretty limited and blah.
