    Our stay was a disaster. It started off well when we received a free room upgrade. I was so excited when I saw the huge soaking tub, only to find out when I went to take a bath that there was no plug. I called down to the front desk, but they said they didn't have one for me. Since I hadn't been expecting the tub in the first place, I didn't feel like I could be too upset about there not being a plug. However, when I went to take a shower instead, there was a hair at the bottom of the shower. The absolute worst was when we were getting ready to leave the next morning. We found a pair of dirty underwear under one of the beds!!! I was horrified. The lady at the front desk was apologetic and made some notes for the housekeeping staff. They did waive our $14 parking fee, so, I guess there was that. However, for what this place charges it was not at all worth it. We won't stay here again.
