Never again will I stay at this hotel or any other IHG Hotel. The following is a complete summary of my 3 night stay at this hotel. 1) Parking is difficult. If you have a car that is lower to the ground, you will have a hard time entering and exiting the parking garage. It is extremely steep. You will need to use your room key to enter (which is understandable) AND exiting. Parking is $25/day (self parking, which is still reasonable.) 2) When you are checking in, you will be charged an additional $10/night "amenities fee. This is on top of the $45 service fee you originally pay when booking on Expedia. You will also find a notice informing you they are doing renovation work. The hotel charges $100 PER night deposit. 3) The double rooms are TINY. The bathrooms have no counter space. The desk in the room is basically useless, especially if you need to use it for your laptop or have any paperwork. They have a Keurig placed directly in the middle of the workspace that is not moveable. 4) Hot water is an issue. It barely gets hot enough to even cause steam. (This is with it turned as hot as it will go.) 5) Breakfast is minimal at best. And let's face it, it's not free considering the amenity fee per nught and there are no amenities. 6) Oh, #6. Management is a complete joke. I woke up the second morning of my stay with bed bug bites covering my lower legs. Red, itchy bites. I immediately went down to the front desk to tell management and show them the bites. I was told the mana

Good room, fair location. They should go ahead yes have been more up front about the construction that was going on at the hotel. Also, we had cold water in the shower. They weren’t able to fix it, but did a good job offering an alternative solution.

The pictures of the room had a balcony and a bath tub and the suite that I paid to much for had neither of these and that was the reason I paid so much. Talked to staff and they did nothing to make it right.
