Negative Reviews
negative:
A bit of a maze..
Guests often note that the parking lot is very large, with many of the spaces a fair distance from from the rather large, "maze-like" building. Some travelers feel they spend too much time looking for their room or the most convenient exit, and wish maps were presented at check-in.
negative:
A sleepless night for some..
A few guests have reported noisy air conditioning or inconsiderately loud neighbors. Some guests in rooms toward the rear of the building have been troubled by freeway noise.
negative:
Parking costs extra..
Many guests are irritated by the fee for self parking. Some have described the breakfast buffet as a bit "pricey" as well.
