The rooms were ok. Bed was comfortable. There were no towels in the room we had to ask for them. There were also no garbage bags in the garbage cans in the rooms. There were full garbage bags as soon as you got off the elevator and troughout the hall way. Only front desk spoke English the rest of the workers didnt speak English. Parking is tight so make sure you get in early if you plan on parking in their garage. Its also 55 dollars to park in their garage. The breakfast was not good either, they burned most of what they made.
