The room was spacious and clean The parking lot was a block away from the hotel Upon arrival it was utter chaos trying to get into the hotel to check in and then learning that parking was either by Valet at $15 a day or parking a block away ( and it was raining) The hallway carpets were filthy and the ice machine on our floor was not working I will not stay there again
