Pros:

The room was clean!

Cons:

On arriving, there were no open parking spots. An employee moved his car to give us a spot. Thank You! The next two nights, however, we had to park in the neighboring parking garage at a cost of $65.00 a night. We reserved two rooms for our stay. Mine smelled of the heavy odor of bleach, as if part of a bottle had spilled on the floor in the bathroom. There was nothing available to air the room out, save a tiny space heater that had a fan only option. Sleeping there was not comfortable.
