Jessica

Disliked: Amenities
It was not at all clear upon booking that valet parking was the ONLY option, especially since wheelchair accessible parking was explicitly listed as a separate feature. An extra $60 is not insignificant. Entry from the hotel the garage was also very difficult with a wheelchair and luggage, we had to ask for help. The room also had iffy amenities - the pocket door to the bathroom was very difficult to open and close, there is no counter space in the bathroom (just the edge of the sink), we weren't able to turn off the automatic hall light, and the closet wasn't wheelchair accessible because of being so narrow and close to the dresser (the door can't even be closed since it's so close).

The bed is super comfy, Elevator is horrible takes way to long to go up and down stops at every possible floor. FYI Rooms are not sound proof YOU CAN HEAR EVERYTHING. You have to pay like $55 for parking which makes no sense when your already paying to stay there. I forgot my Nike sweats in the room they said the would call IF THEY WERE found. I’m sure someone kept those new sweats never got a cal back.

I was there Super Bowl weekend, 7th February at roughly 6pm I came back to my room and a small rodent ran pass me and under the door. I couldn’t sleep well after that and left the next day with 1 day remaining which has not been resolved. Thank you Brian (Manager) who sent an email but did not sort his offer out. Good luck!!
