Underwhelming Stay

helpful staffon-site parkingstreet noise
The front desk staff was quite helpful .
I found the lack of on-site parking very inconvenient! Driving around for an hour to find a spot late at night was frustrating. The room was also too hot, even with the thermostat turned down. Opening the window let in a lot of street noise, though.
