Where I was in the hotel, it was very nosy. the trash trucks would come every night multiple times, waking me up at 2:00am, 4:00am, 5;00pm and 6:00am. I couldn’t believe how often and loud it was. As a result my sleep was greatly disrupted, but the hotel was good other than that.

Our stay was to include $15 parking but front desk gave us expired ticket so we paid $15 + $40. Ridiculous. Will not stay there again because of that. Such a scam. Btw we were in Iowa city not Chicago, Atlanta or NY.
