Housekeeping needs better communication.

We stayed in room 647. The air conditioning was terribly inconsistent in order to close the blinds drapes it had to slide over the air conditioning intake which would end up blocking airflow so we had to leave it pulled back about 6 in which ended up in the morning bringing in sunlight before we were ready to wake up. Housekeeping was tapping on the door very early in the morning when we had indicated that we were staying for 5 days. I told the front desk that we would like to have our house cleaning, new towels, sheets and coffee replace after 1:00 p.m. everyday. My wife and I get off at about 9:00 in the morning on vacation days and enjoy coffee and getting ready for the day. I told housekeeping three additional times that the room was ready for cleaning and no one ever did we come home to our room that had not been intended to at all. Had to call several times for towels and coffee. One time the coffee maker didn't even work. This was not a convenience for us at all after I make an effort regarding house cleaning.

Shampoo in the room was out. Staff were very helpful and courteous however, severely understaff. The registration desk staff was also in charge of the cafe while the phone was ringing on and on. Although, she did her best - it was simply impossible for her to be at 3 locations at the same time

Pricey Paid Parking makes this place unaffordable

The hotel was decent with no extra amenities like breakfast. The biggest downer for us was that you have to pay $30.00 for parking each night and there is absolutely no free parking around. That really adds up when you stay for multiple days and we could have stayed in a better hotel with free parking for that additional price if we had known that earlier.

I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. I have low expectations for chain hotels, but this property is well-maintained, very clean and the staff were friendly and professional. My only issue was that I had asked for my room to be cleaned during a 4-hour window between 11am and 3pm so I could return and get ready for a Christmas gathering. Front desk staff assured me it would be taken care of. When I returned to the hotel, the room was still uncleaned and the housekeeping staff had to skip my room because I was using it to get ready--the very problem I had initially anticipated. This was a slight inconvenience but also an unnecessary annoyance, and the hotel was not busy the weekend I was there. Otherwise, it was a pleasant stay.

The good: ample self-parking in the garage; a nicely decorated lobby; comfortable bed. The bad: everything else. Seriously though, the check-in process was horrible**, the onsite restaurant was constantly slammed by what I can only presume were attendees of whatever meetings/conferences were being held there, and the bathroom in my room was super gross. Hair on the floor, hair on the towels, dust/grime/hair accumulated around the base of the toilet, a missing body wash dispenser in the shower, soap scum (like chunks of soap from the hotel bar soap) caked on the shower toiletry holder, and green discoloration on the shower head. It was definitely disappointing. **Worst check-in ever. Literally. From the rudest reception desk person who didn’t communicate anything about the hotel features (like the parking garage and hotel elevators are separate and located nowhere near each other) to telling me I had to (drag my luggage back out to car and) self-park before I could drop my bags in my room bc there isn’t enough guest check-in parking to the overflowing lobby with meeting/conference guests, it was such an unpleasant experience.
