The property itself had a good location and was in very good condition. I will, however, make a suggestion the management. This was probably the single most inconvenient and unprofessional intake process I’ve ever experienced and I travel a ton. The property does not have parking you have to park on the street which I was aware of. However, after walking 3/4 of a mile dragging my bags down the sidewalk to the hotel, I was welcome to sign on the door telling me that I need to sign in at another one of their properties another four minutes away. I also found out when I got to the check-in office that you can park at their other properties with a permit. The problem is none of this is communicated to the traveler so I wanted to , walking for nearly 30 minutes just to get in my room. A little more attention needs to be put into the customer experience. This is not the kind of experience anyone wants to have. The second comments the management is there was no heat in the room I have never been. The blankets were very thin and I froze and could barely sleep.

It did not indicate anywhere in the booking that I would need to check in at another hotel down the street. There was no one at the hotel except a note on the door with directions to the other hotel. The facilities were ok. Limited parking. I had an unpleasant incident upon check out with a very confrontational cleaning staff. I did share my feedback at the reception which they were apologetic but it was uncalled for.

The staff were great, but check-in was a bit of a hassle. You have to check in at another hotel two blocks away before getting your room. There didn't seem to be any available parking spots so that might be something to consider. If you're walking, especially at night, it's not ideal because the streets between the hotels are poorly lit. The first room we got had a broken AC and a strange smell. We called the front desk, but because maintenance wasn't available, we were given the option to change rooms. However we had to walk back to the first hotel to get the keys. The new room was fine though, quiet and everything worked.
