Property was well maintained with staff and breakfast being great But our room had a very small TV and the remote had to be replaced 3 times because they did not work on the TV. The small refrigerator was not working well - anything left on the top shelve would freeze (soda- water) and no way to adjust it. Ice machine not working on our 3 floor and soda machine not working on 2nd floor. Hotel parking lot was used by the theater next door and that made close parking to hotel difficult at night. No reserve parking for hotel guests.
