Decent hotel for the price

I never could get my digital key even though the desk attendant said she could make it work. No welcome gift, which we usually get. Luckily we were there on a weekend because parking is pricey. The mattress was horrible and needs to be replaced immediately. The breakfast was excellent and the employee very nice and helpful. It was also very quiet which is a plus,

Hotel charged me 200$ more for a damage deposit than Expedia said (what you see now is what you pay), so that was a surprise. Parking was awful, and had to be validated each time you left at 22$. The fire alarm in the room beeped the whole time I was there. The ac automatically readjusted to 74 during the day and it took hours to cool down when I got back. I got caught in the rain on my walk to the hotel from the parking garage about a block away. SO MANY homeless and transients crawling the streets, hooting and hollering, were all over the place hitting me up for money the entire walk from the parking garage to the hotel. Ladies, don’t check in by yourself after dark. The stairwell from the garage to the hotel smelled like complete urine from the vagrants loitering. Absolutely do not recommend for business trip or pleasure.
