6/10 Good

Not again
Parking was listed and yet on arrival parking and check-in were a complete frustration. Only one elevator working for numerous floors made in/out again frustrating. Room was clean but odd and feeling old. Bring slippers for sure.

8/10 Very Good

The one of the elevators to our floor was out of service. Long waits to go up or down. Very inconvenient.
