The room, location, and staff were perfect. The only reason it didn't receive five stars is that if you are staying for a day and there is an event or conference, it may be impossible to find parking. The morning food option in the cafe was lackluster.

Staff was courteous, room was clean. I was disappointed that they did not refill my in room coffee and they tub has rusted areas. My biggest concern was the lack of lighting outside of the building and at the entrance. I had to check in when it was dark outside and I did not feel safe. Also the windows were filthy and I could barely see out of them.

This is my first time checking in at a hotel with no microwave inside the room. We have to go down to the restaurant to heat up our food. It was very awkward and the staff that we asked where the microwave is not friendly. It was Thanksgiving Day when we checked in so we decided we brought our own food because we know not a lot of restaurants are open that day. The most weird thing is we have a spoiled milk in a steel pitcher container in our room. I don’t know what was it for. The front desk staff the next day is very kind to take us some photos.
