Probably wouldn’t stay again

While the room itself did the job, the parking was such a hassle and with one elevator broken, It took forever to get between floors. The sliding bathroom doors also leave a huge space which makes you visible to anyone walking by the restroom. It is helpful to have a parking structure on site but It is so narrow, it’s a challenge with each turn if you’re in a larger car, you can even see the scratch marks on the walls and posts where people were not so lucky with their turns.
