minor issues

good breakfastworn hallwayadditional parking cost
the breakfast was quite good and had a decent variety of options.
the hallways looked quite worn and a bit dirty. the room carpet had some noticeable stains in several spots, disappointing. i also didn't like the extra charge for overnight parking.
