Negative Reviews
negative:
Parking may disappoint
Plenty of guests disliked having to fork out a daily fee for parking. Furthermore, as if that wasn't frustrating enough, there don't appear to be enough spaces in the lot to accommodate every guest at the hotel. Hence, you may be forced to park off-site.
negative:
Poor experiences with Wi-Fi
Several reviews suggest that the Wi-Fi service at the hotel could be much improved, with some guests comparing the speed of the connection as similar to the old dial-up Internet. Phone signals also seem poor.
negative:
Some rooms are noisy
Guests who were allocated a room facing the freeway sometimes comment that the noise from the passing traffic was fairly loud. This is despite the hotel installing double-pane windows. Ask for a room on the opposite side if you don't want to be bothered.
