Upon arrival, we were assigned a room on the seventh floor along with a designated parking spot. When we went to park, the spot was already occupied, so we returned to the front desk to notify them we parked elsewhere, which did not seem to concern the staff. When we reached our room, the door was wide open and it was clear the room had not been cleaned. Towels were hanging on the bathroom door and left on the floor, indicating a previous guest had checked out without housekeeping servicing the room. We went back downstairs to report this, and the front desk staff appeared largely unbothered. They reassigned us to a new room, but when we attempted to enter, the key did not work, requiring another trip back to the front desk. After the keys were finally corrected, we were able to access the new room, which was acceptable. However, we noticed later that the original room we had been assigned remained open and uncleaned, with the same towels still present. This gave the impression that cleanliness and guest comfort were not a priority for the staff, which made us feel very uncomfortable during our stay.

Rooms are really small, but provide most amenities. You have to ask for cleaning service and new towels. They charge for parking but you can find free parking on the streets. Decent place for price.

Room is very compact but enough room. Kitchen on 6th floor has microwave to warm food. Freeway noise isn’t too bad if the window is closed.

Disliked: Amenities
The location is the reason I stayed there. It’s a great location. The room was clean. Unfortunately, the gym isn’t satisfactory. The machine wasn’t working properly and it didn’t feel clean. There was an issue all 3 mornings with the coffee including broken machines or dirty pot or no pods. You really have to include parking because there’s a lot of construction going on nearby and parking spots are limited.

The room was clean and the staff were courteous and friendly. Please note: Parking is gated and a bit confusing on how to access it. Short drive way up to the gate on the side of the hotel. I missed it several time when driving up. The Key pad is located on the right side of the gate. You would need to get out of your car to open the gate. Entering the parking is narrow so slow down when entering and the parking slot are very narrow. It was difficult to get into my car when another car is parked next to me.
