"The parking garage elevator was terrible. It was 100° and the elevator was questionably operating. With the door barely opening. There was no fan or vent at all. It was very uncomfortable. And the price per vehicle for parking is ridiculous."

"We liked the coffee bar in the morning. We didn’t like not being able to park in the basement. That would have made a difference. Communication was bad, it was very hard to get someone to speak with regarding all the issues that we had from the beginning of our stay."
