Pros (+) Room was spacious and bed was comfortable.
Cons (-) There was a wedding the night I stayed so the parking garage was full. I had to leave my car out front and come down at 11:00 pm to move it into the garage. We ordered the express breakfast and it was 30 minutes late and half not edible.

Cons (-) We were in room 717. Brawling in the next room (715) brought management up twice. (Someone else called the management.) Dog barking down the hall. A party down the hall broke up at 2:30 in the morning with much shouting. In the room, lumpy old bed, peeling wallpaper, old mismatched furniture and lamps in the room. I have photos. We stay there every December when we visit family. This is our first ...
