Starbucks in the hotel kept closing early so you couldn’t get a cup of coffee past 11am. They told you to walk 2 blocks if you want it. Rooms were old and looked like someone tried to break into my room prior of my arrival. They never made it clear that you have to pay for parking - they sent me a text about it being $50 per day, the night before my stay. I got there at 11am and they told me that my room was ready, however they will charge me $50 unless I come back at 2pm. Overall - find a better hotel.

Overall nice property. The sleeping accommodations is why this went from a 4.5 to a 3. The bed was very firm and the pillows were the absolute worse. Not the best sleep. Other than that, this hotel was cleaner than most, a little out dated but kept on good condition. The staff was super friendly and professional. It's a busy location but still pleasant.
