It was a dump. The shower sprayed all over; the bathroom sink didn't drain well, the kitchen was dirty and had very few dishes, silverware. The pull out couch did not have sheets. The hotel was very run down.

A little disappointed with the fact that there is no accommodation for free handicap parking at this location and there is a charge for valet overnight parking.

Very nice room. Kitchenette is a big plus. Nice that they had real cups and silverware in the room. Room coffee was very good.
