Staff was polite, room was clean, but the gym does not have dumbbells 5-25, it starts at 30. The rack looks like they used to have all of them. The water machine in the room also doesn't work.

No parking here. Tractor trailers in lot and had to
Park in another hotel. Phone in room broken - falling apart when we tried to call for linens that should have been in the room. We had a room with 2 beds and couch and no dressing for couch called twice and I’m typing all this as I wait. Keeping all 3 of us up. Girl just knocked & delivered blanket. Dolly to bring luggage up was broken too. Yes I’m tired bad so cranky writing this, but linens & parking should be basic expectation
