NO HOT WATER!
There was no hot water! When we called the front desk they seemed to know there was an issue and that needed to reset the hot water heater. Ridiculous to have to take a cold shower or no shower at all with little recognition that this is a major inconvenience. We will not be staying here and you can look we stayed here one night each of the last 3 months.

I was quite shocked to have to pay $40 to park overnight in the hotel's garage. I have stayed in dozens of hotels and never had to pay for parking in the garage. This should be noted on the website. Our room had no hot water which I discovered after disrobing and being ready to get clean and go to bed. We had to pack everything and move to a suite in order to have hot water. So aggravating. Suite was much larger, bed was comfortable but as soon as I went to take a shower I found several very long, quite noticeable hairs on the bathtub edge and bottom. Does no one clean the rooms any more? I won't recommend this hotel due to the lack of hot water in the first room, hair in the second room's bathroom and ridiculous $40 parking fee.

My water got shut off and I couldnt shower.
I wasnt able to shower inbetween my overnight shifts at the hospital. The water got shut off to the entire hotel. The manager knew what happened to me and didnt even try to reach out. It was the WORST hitel experience I have had. For over 200$ a night I expected to be able to shower. I spent my shift at the hospital feeling disgusting because i wasnt able to clean myself. The room was dirty too. The mini fridge smelled DISGUSTING. The manager, being aware of the situation because I definitely told the front desk staff, should have at least reached out to me. I should not of been forced to try and track them down on multiple occasions. I have never stayed at a hotel that I couldnt shower at. The shower was down from early morning until after 6:30pm. I sleep all day because I am at the hospital from 6:30am until 6:30pm. Everyone i have told about the situation was shocked. The most shocking is the manager not even writing a note, NOTHING to apologize for this massive inconvenience.

Dont get me started on flushing toilet 😤 not ok. Having to go to bed without shower feeling dirty. At that point just to tired to drive and find another hotel.
