Very poor.
Room was next to the elevator shaft at a lower level and so was very noisy all night. I barely slept. I was not allowed to switch rooms and the AC was not working well. In addition the AC panel had been removed and was just laying there (I replaced it) like a single star hotel. The Receptionist was not particularly friendly.

Pay 30 bucks for parking in empty lot!
The front desk agent was very blunt about paying for parking. Its 30 dollars a car in a not very secure garage. I was shocked because I have stayed at this hotel before and never had to pay for parking (that I knew of). So the whole experience wasn't customer friendly at all. $60 to park in an empty garage for two cars is a rip off. Also the lights in the hallway in front of our room was flickering. It was annoying to go in and out of our room.
