cold shower dim lighting
I was a bit disappointed. i had a cold shower one morning (around 7:30 am), then another morning i had water that alternated between very hot and very cold. they gave me a small discount, but i think they should have told guests about the water problems. also, the lighting in the room wasn't great. It made it hard to see clearly at times. it could use brighter or more adjustable lights (especially near the desk).

The staff were SUPER friendly! Rooms were super clean and cozy. Beds and pillows were great. Parking is close to the hotel. You need to reserve in advance though.
The hotel was already very expensive, almost double the hotels in the area per night. The room was small for the price per night. You could barely walk around it. The bathroom was a squeeze to get in and out past the sink. The shower water kept going cold the whole time!
