Disliked: Amenities
The hotel was as expected. Friendly staff, clean. Standard room was small, but I knew that from staying here years ago before it was renovated. Parking description was not clear that there is no self parking. Valet only. I paid $22 at the time of booking for breakfast, only to learn there are no restaurants in the hotel. I was given a voucher to take to Starbucks down the street. On the Expedia website, food availability is described as 2 restaurants and a lounge. Those no longer exist. This was an inconvenience on a bitter cold and windy night after a 6 hr. drive, the last in blowing snow. It would be good for future lodgers if this outdated information is corrected.

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
The staff was friendly enough. However, we couldn't check into our room until 5 pm. After waiting to check in and getting settled, they moved us to a different room on a different floor. Our new room had no closet or hooks for hanging clothing. The TV remote needed new batteries. And the Keurig was broken. I will not stay here again!

The room was nice and I loved the blackout windows. The staff is friendly. The vertex bar which advertised itself as open until midnight was closing at 10 so that was a disappointment. I purchased the $40 breakfast option and receive two $15 Starbucks gift cards so ended up losing money on that deal
