Lipstick on a Pig. Let me elaborate. The ice machine was broke, room tv was glitchy, my first room key was programmed for the wrong room and the ironing board was missing. Other that that, the stay was nice.

$30.00 for parking is awful. Breakfast, I just had 1 small bowl of fruit & the charge was $21.00 + tax! That's robbery! But the room was perfect, clean, modern, and I really loved the bathroom fixtures!
