The only negative thing I would have to say is the parking garage situation. They have to manually let you in and out and sometimes it was a hassle

Decieved, no charging point, no amenities
First of all, there is NO ev charging station at this location. The hotels.com listing deceived me. I asked the hotel and they said they don't have it, so no choice. Secondly, the tv channels said 'no signal' ended using phone whole night. Thirdly there is no 'game room' with pingpong as shown in the listing. Nothing of that sort, deceived again. The front desk person said the game room has been removed long ago. The only best thing is the breakfast and there is a park just outside. The hotels.com should do whatever they should to correct this misinformation on their site.

False Advertising
The people at the front desk were hospitable and friendly. They provided a refund of our parking like they said they would since we didn't stay the second night. The room didn't really look like the pictures, the bed was not very comfortable, the rooms next to us were loud, and we didn't feel we should have to pay for parking.

We were celebrating our 40th anniversary having stayed at an earlier incarnation of the hotel on our wedding night. We found the stay to be friendly and very helpful.
