Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
No parking! I was traveling with my elderly mother and there is zero parking. You have to park down the street in a garage…. With luggage…. It’s terrible. No one was ever at the desk. I arrived back at 11am and need a key to get in the lobby that was un staffed. Breakfast is in the 2nd floor, very small and not appealing. I would never stay there again. I can’t imagine it on game weekends. It would be impossible.
