4/10 Fair

Disappointing. Kind of gross.
Be aware that parking is extremely limited, is in a rundown parking garage that was difficult to maneuver, isn’t included and cost 22$/night. Front desk service were very friendly. The room itself was run down. The dresser handle was broken and “fixed” with duct tape. The floor of the room wasn’t carpeted, which should mean it’s easier to keep clean. Nope! Gross, dirty floor. Keep your shoes on. My socks turned black and we were only awake in the room a few hours. Tub was damaged and “patched” I guess you’d call it. Just kind of a gross disappointing experience. Breakfast was supposed to be served until 9:30am but we went down at 8:55 and more than half the items were gone and the servers said they would not be refilling those items. I don’t usually complain but for the amount we paid - we were disappointed. We have stayed in many Residence Inns by Marriott and this one was not up to the usual standard.

Parking not included !!
We arrived around 1am. Gave cc for incidentals and was given a pink piece of paper to put on dash in the adjacent garage that said hotel parking. No signs nor was told there would be a $22 charge that shows up on cc statement. We booked and paid here thru the site and was told we dont get a final check out bill. Seems they do this often and when i called they say its disclosed here on the site. Well its not in my summary and again no signs posted there or on the garage. Otherwise a nice stay

Great hotel, parking not so much
Really nice hotel. Great location. Parking is a bit of a challenge. We found that you are not guaranteed a space in the hotel garage so we had to park on the street.

Comfortable and near to downtown
The only thing we're disappointed is that the blinking light in the bathroom has not been fixed during our 4 day stay there.
