Parking was fine, front desk staff was nice. The room had some issues. shower curtain rod was wiggly and angled outwards so that the curtain slid, causing water to go outside onto the floor, drawers were broken/wiggly, towel rack was almost falling off the wall and wall by bed was very dirty with brown stains.
