Disliked: Amenities
The room and halls smelled very clean and I had a good experience at reception. The hard floors are pretty loud, and I could hear every word spoken in the room joined to mine. Surprised they charge for parking given the cost to stay per night, but they do list that on the site. Overall, it was fine.
