The stay was just okay, nothing special at all. My room need cosmetic attention bad, the bathtub faucet was twisted at an angle with 3 big cracks to the wall of the shower. The bathroom vent was full of dirt, multiple bad path jobs to the ceiling. House keeping was a joke. I was in my room when they came, I verbally told her to not come in and clean my room because I had valuable items I couldn’t not lock up due to no safe in the room. When I returned, only the bed was made up, didn’t even empty the trash can and my suitcase sitting at the foot of my bed. Nothing was taken, but the fact that she came back after I told her not to clean it and waited until I left to enter. Charging $44 a night for parking is ridiculous. It feels like they are forcing you to use their parking garage since there are only a handful of street parking.
