****Pros: The room was good; plenty of room, and a nice view for this stay. The bell staff was cordial. I appreciate that they now have gluten-free cookies at check-in. Very nice. Check-out was easy. The location is perfect. You are extremely close to the parks and well within walking distance. Location helps outweigh the cons. ****Cons: I have never had an early check-in at this hotel, so I would not expect that. The second day I was there, the cleaning staff walked right into my room - without knocking - and said that I was supposed to have checked out. I told her that I was there for two more days and to please leave. I let the front desk know via their texting system (which is a pro), but I never heard back from them about this incident (con). I made sure the door safety was on after that. I have taken a star away for their terrible lobby bar. The drinks are incredibly overpriced, and they include a 20% tip on the bill without telling you that is what they plan to do. Very off-putting to have to pay $24 for a martini ($20 plus a $4 tip) - especially when this bar is not in an incredibly fancy hotel. When I questioned it, I was met with some big-time attitude from the bartender. They need to tell people about the 20% right off the bat or have better signage if that is their practice. It felt underhanded. And I was told to "Just sign it!" (my bill) Extremely rude, but I guess if you are charging a 20% tip from everyone, you can be rude.
