My non smoking room worked like cigarette smoke. They don't provide basic water bottles in rooms which almost every hotel in the works does. Also with 2 rooms booked for two nights they Wouldn't accommodate canceling one night on one room. Then after checking out of that room a day early, wouldn't give it back to us even though it wasn't refunded.

Bad pillows!
My main compliant was the pillows...less wide than standard on a queen bed. that would have been fine but they were very high, ie almost unusable because of the angle of your head on the pillow. I made a pillow out of towels and put it in the pillow case. High marks for cleanliness and location.

Stay was ok. The room was nothing like pictures. The room was rather old and very dingy/dirty. Beds were uncomfortable as well. Easy convenience to city marks. Parking was also $160 for 2 nights which was ridiculous. Would not stay here again.
