The hotel is trying to do repairs. My room, 101 was very nice. My concern is all the abandoned cars & stored cars sitting in the parking area taking up spaces! One is clearly abandoned, Expedition. No lisense plate, completely flat tire $ dirt covered on 1 side. Next to it a red car with broken drivers window. Then a car covered. Also was an old mattress laying by dumpster. There was a snow plow in another area of parking. It was a sold out weekend & some of these things should have been long gone. The ice machine has been an issue for years. It runs out & takes hours to work again. Replace with new.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,001 reviews)
Everything was great but there was no coffee or breakfast options for breakfast, Starbucks is less than a 5 minute walk but it would be nice to have some type of room service or coffee and donuts in the lobby.
