Comfortable. Weird stain in bath, perhaps someone was coloring their hair. Did not have cleaning service show up. Breakfast choices were minimal, not where I want to start my day. Was surprised about the parking fee since I did not notice it in paperwork with Hotels.com. Overall nice stay, good location.

Awful

Avoid at all costs and do not pay for breakfast. When we arrived, hotel did not have the room we had paid for, which two beds, and we had to get a different room with a single bed and then change half-way through. Breakfast was inedible. They had parfaits which were expired and moldy. Like, full mold growth. They made eggs which were so tough and rubbery we literally could not cut them with a metal knife or chew through. They only had one person on staff who had to take the order and then run back and cook the order, which meant there was no one at the front for 30 minutes at a time. good luck getting a single coffee if you're in a hurry.
