excessive parking feestained hallway carpets
The hotel charged for parking , and the price seemed excessive. My room also overlooked an alley , and the view was not very appealing. The noise from nearby businesses was noticeable at times , and it disrupted my peace. The hallway carpets were stained and looked old , giving a poor first impression. I would have appreciated a quieter room with a better view.

The room i was given was nothing special. i mean, for what they charge, i expect better than a worn-out room. the bathroom was especially annoying. Counter space was nonexistent. there's nothing more frustrating than trying to get ready with nowhere to put your stuff. and the noise at night? ugh. i heard everything going on outside. i didn't sleep very well.
