| - The parking situation stinks. No on-premises self parking, only valet. So you either pay $30 a day, plus tips, for valet service or park a few blocks away. Okay if the weather's nice, but not so nice when it's raining, cold, or hot and you're hoofing it to your car in a suit. Also not so nice when it's late at night and you're walking a dark parking garage.
For some reason my room didn't have a shower door. I asked a maid about this and she said 2-3 rooms on each floor are that way. Why? No idea. I think they just ran out of doors. You can even see the holes they drilled to mount one. And it's not some sort of handicapped access thing, because there's a big ridge on the floor to step over and you can't fit a wheelchair in the bathroom, anyway. No matter how much you try to avoid it, you end up with a wet floor.
Bathroom is small, with no vent fan.
They give you plenty of pillows, but they are filled with some sort of amazing shrinking stuffing, because when you put your head on one it goes from 10" to 1/4" thick. You have to shove two of them under your head to get decent support.
When I got there, the light in my bathroom and the plugs on one wall didn't work. Probably a fuse or circuit breaker. I called it in, but they took so long to respond that I was falling asleep and trying to stay awake for them. I finally hung out the Do Not Disturb sign and went to bed. So I had to shower in the dark the next day.
There's not much in the way of restaurants nearby, which makes the parking situation and subsequent pita using your car even more annoying.
Okay, good stuff:
They put a big jug of cold melon-infused water in the lobby, which was tasty and refreshing. The food I ate was routinely good.
Most of the staff was friendly.
The room was very clean.
They gave me late checkout.
It's not a bad place, but at this price point there's better hotels available.
