No housekeeping during my entire three-night stay. I was out of the room nearly the whole day, every day. Inexcusable. They also charged me $15 for self-parking. I Ubered there and back.

For a less busy weekend, to get a corner room facing the back side seemed unfair. The coffee machine in the room didn’t work and wasn’t replaced even after notifying the front desk. Other than that everything was average
