Only saving grace is easy Mayo access

Climate control - thermostat doesn't seem to work. We put it on the lowest setting and it was still hot in our room (during the winter). The front desk had fans ready to go, so it obviously wasn't their first go around with this. We had to sleep with the window open. The person who was sent to check the heat decided that we didn't need a fix since the window was able to open. Smell- there's a popcorn store in the Mayo subway beneath the hotel. On the 4th floor (where we stayed), there was a strong movie theater butter type smell. Bathroom- small with old style that's been painted over. Water went back & forth from hot to cold during showers. Bed- mattress was pretty firm, a little lumpy. Tv- we couldn't get any local channels. Luckily we brought our Chromecast. Also it's an old LG 720p from 2008 (we checked). Parking- lot not clearly labeled externally as being related to hotel. Hotel doesn't manage lot & you have to pay the lot directly, so DO NOT LOSE THE RECEIPT YOU RECEIVE UPON ENTERING. Otherwise you pay $48.

The front desk staff checked me in using someone else’s name. I only found this out after we got up to the room and it had one bed and our reservation was for two double beds. They Pre authorized my credit card for this room for $287 when my room was already paid for. She then tried to make it sound like it wasn’t a big deal and tried to get me to pre authorize our actual reservation in which I refused. We asked for extra blankets and towels and they never came to our room. Valet took 20 minutes to bring us our car because they don’t label vehicle details on their keys. This is our second time staying and our last.
