Thanks for your 5-star review, Cynthia!

4 out of 5
Downtown parking on a busy Monday night and people were parked in the loading zone. Used to be where the valet was stationed. After finding a public lot #7 we found a loading zone behind the hotel. The desk clerk told us we had found the closest place and 2 of the few handicap spots we were downtown.

Hi Shirley, we are sorry to hear about your experience.

I requested that my room be cleaned every day that I stayed. We were told it would be upon request only. Which I did request. Only 1 day they did not clean my room out of the 5 days. Not sure why? I gave them extra time in the morning to remind. Made me mad, then I got over it.
