A recurring complaint is daily paid parking, with tight, awkward spaces that can be hard to use. Guests also report noticeable noise from hallways, parking areas, and nearby roads, which can disrupt sleep. Some rooms face maintenance issues such as inconsistent hot water, finicky elevators, and occasional pool or laundry problems. Expect a practical stay overall, with tradeoffs around parking, noise, and some aging infrastructure.

AI-generated summary based on recent guest reviews
Parking is paid daily and spaces are very tight, which many guests found frustrating. Other facilities draw mixed feedback: the small outdoor pool was sometimes closed, the main elevator felt unreliable at times, and laundry machines caused problems.
