Disliked: Staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel room was spacious, clean and accommodating. However, we had to pay FULL price for the parking garage because the hotel staff gave us a parking garage discount pass that had EXPIRED. So, they we are, leaving the parking garage on checkout and we can’t exit because the hotel parking pass we were given was INVALID. Flustered and angry, we called the Help phone button but we were told we had to pay the $76 or we couldn’t exit. So, please explain this to me - how is it our fault that the hotel gave us an expired parking garage pass?? Beware, if you stay here, make SURE when you check in that you have a parking pass that actually WORKS before you’re stranded in the parking garage!!

Where I was in the hotel, it was very nosy. the trash trucks would come every night multiple times, waking me up at 2:00am, 4:00am, 5;00pm and 6:00am. I couldn’t believe how often and loud it was. As a result my sleep was greatly disrupted, but the hotel was good other than that.

Our stay was to include $15 parking but front desk gave us expired ticket so we paid $15 + $40. Ridiculous. Will not stay there again because of that. Such a scam. Btw we were in Iowa city not Chicago, Atlanta or NY.
