There was no hot water for the shower on both nights and the toilet kept clogging after normal use. Also, the fold-out sofabed was horribly uncomfortable with sagging and the feel of the bedsprings popping through. The room was against the freeway which was very loud all night long. Between the horrible sofa bed and the freeway noise, I was not able to sleep.

The price for what we got was good. The price for parking is comical cuz you can park on the street for free, which is what we did. The room’s floor was dirty in areas. The windows must be single pain cuz we could hear the highway all night and cold air was getting through, which wasn’t a big deal cuz we could adjust the heating accordingly. Breakfast was hot and good. We liked that breakfast was open a little later than some other hotels because we’re late risers. The body wash smelled like Playdough. The staff was always responsive, just not smiley. The luggage carts were very worn down, but at least they had them. Overall, our stay was good.
