Disliked: Staff & service
It snowed they did not plow the parking lot. They did not shovel any walkways. It was ridiculous and dangerous charge extra days for being stuck in a parking lot that was unattended due to whether housekeeping was not available. Office was closed, but they charged you an extra day because you had to dig your way out with whatever you could find to use. Room was good.
