After waiting 40 minutes for my luggage I went to valet and got it myself. TV streaming kept restarting tv and their were many homeless people laying all over the sidewalks at the lobby entrance and yelling, very uncomfortable.

All good. Wish the common areas were a bit more up leveled (they are very sparse, carpet is poor). In the room, the bathroom slider door lends itself to being a petri-dish based on having hands all over the door to make it open/close.
