Donna

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean, and the staff was professional and courteous. However, on the floor where we were staying, there was a room that was consistently left open and contained two garbage pails that were often overflowing with trash, regardless of the time of day. It was unpleasant to walk past this area and detracted from the otherwise clean appearance of the hotel. I would recommend that this area be monitored more frequently and that the garbage be removed regularly.

The breakfast is OK --usual US breakfast. Room was a bit small for the five of us. Staff were friendly. Parking was a hassle for me -- I had a parking package booked but whenever you want to get your car you need to request it through the phone. But if you do not have a US phone, you are screwed. So getting my car was a pain. The valet parking people were helpful though. There is a convenient Safeway store next to the hotel.
