This was literally one of the best hotels we have stayed in First impression: very neat and clean, we were welcomed by a very friendly front desk employee We had a reservation so check in was super simple

Get to our room and it too was very neat and clean The beds were very comfortable, the water pressure in the shower was amazing! Plenty of outlets to plug in many devices Continental breakfast was very good and filling, unfortunately our flight home was very early Sunday morning so we only could partake in one breakfast morning Plenty of seating as well Very cozy, we used the common area for afternoon drinks and conversation with some of our other wedding party members I highly recommend this hotel

I see some of the negative reviews and I seriously don’t get it This is a Holiday Inn, not some luxury hotel That said, I have been here 2 weekends in a row for an event, and will return for a third

Both of my rooms were clean and quiet despite the hotel being fully booked Everything worked fine The check in and check out process is a breeze The desk staff were friendly and efficient I was very impressed – in fact, I have had less pleasant stays at luxury establishments I will be back

CONS: The shower and toilet had hair on them when we arrived The toilet paper and facial tissue had not been replaced before we arrived A light bulb was out; when the front desk person replaced it, they didn’t have the right bulb so it still didn’t work

The phone didn’t work unless we put it on speaker The front desk person was not very professional, sharing information about their staffing issues and even said, “at least there are no bugs” when we asked her to get the bathroom cleanedwhich of course made me wonder if they’d had complaints about bugs! We did not have a “Do Not Disturb” sign to hang from our doorPROS: Inexpensive, so I guess we got what we paid for! Breakfast was good, with multiple high-quality options (such as brand-name organic yogurt) Everything was clean – of course, aside from our bathroom When we notified them that our bathroom was not clean, they did send the cleaning crew, who re-cleaned the whole bathroom for us Flat screen TV was nice Armoire was nice Bed was really comfy

My family had to stay here for 40+ days during our move out of state The rooms were clean and the breakfast was good There is a staff member named Ray that roams the halls doing odd jobs

He is rude and unfriendly He looks as if he is homicidal or suicidal I’d avoid him Everybody else is above and beyond friendly that goes above and beyond for the guests There’s a pool and hot tub that’s well maintained as well as a bar the serves drinks and food on the weekends There’s a small store by the front desk and a laundry room that requires $3 in quarters to wash and dry The business and conference rooms are great and helpful to work in The outdoor spaces are nice and include an outdoor smoking space behind the building If you ask to borrow a vacuum you might run into Ray or his boss He won’t speak to you just stare at you like he hates you She will literally yell at you that you better bring that vacuum back Disgruntled staff I believethey are the only reason I won’t give the hotel a 5 star This hotel would be a 5 star easily if they weren’t working there

I stayed here for a business trip in the area The rooms were clean and simple which I liked As with most any accomodations you will have to contend with the sound of other guests meandering about, but the beds were comfortable enough that I slept well

The staff were friendly and informative, and they provide a basic breakfast I enjoyed the small amount of time I spent here and the convenience of it’s location, so I will be staying here again

Nice hotel in Gig Harbor away from the main downtown area but in walking distance to a few restaurants and a Starbucks We reserved the suite with 1 king 1 queen and a sofa bed which worked for my family of five Breakfast kept us full until early afternoon and consisted of eggs (though they seemed to be powdered eggs; strange consistency), sausage links, waffles/french toast, yogurts, oatmeal, and fruits

Good coffee in the rooms (K cups) Friendly and responsive staff Overall good value for the area

#ThreeHatsRanch

Great location in Gig Harbor Full breakfast is free Big, clean rooms with a very helpful courteous staff

Nice big rooms Pretty quiet at night and comfortable beds It is not told to you at time of check in, but they only clean your room if you ask! We arrived back in the evening to find unmade bed, towels still placed where we left them, etc I find it sad that they cant find people to work People need to wake up and see how destructive the new administration is and the havoc being created in all areas of the economy

Dale R. Anderson

Wesley Suite 255 Two rooms and a king bed much like the photos, tub and fireplace and bed in rear room A TV in both rooms

No stand nor light next to fairly stiff reading chair Heater controls did not seem to work as expected The thermostat seemed limited to 65 but the separate fireplace was nice and hot TVs are undersized for the expectation of the client who can afford the suite It’s great they are in both rooms but they are about 40” and basic cable services with no pause buffer Bath was super premium and the real killer feature in the main room It is longer and wider than most tubs And the old fashioned casement window nearby opens for some fresh air when you unlock it I recommend bring noise canceling headphones or a pilot earmuffs to drown out the loud jets for the more relaxing experience But it outclasses the rest of the suite Including the bathroom, with its slightly precarious corner seat standup shower and standard toilet If they upgrade these more minor points over time to fill out the experience it could be quite luxurious Ah but no room service of course, and the continental breakfast was standard fare A decent pot of hearty oatmeal, a clear plastic case of cheap unpackaged premade pastries and such, browning bananas and small mealy apples Good pots of strong black coffee Staying in the suite I went down to get some fresh fruit and such to bring back and run a tub for my date Be better to bring a few groceries for the kitchenette next time No balcony and a very “parking lot” outside experience; but a decent amount of trees and birds chirruping in the morning I think this deserves three and a half all things considered

We had a nice time at this B&B which is several bedrooms in a house with a hosts sleeping in the basement We were pleasantly surprised to a delicious homemade dinner Safe and free on street parking, no pets allowed

Beautiful garden Bathrooms are shared, but we were the only guests for our bathroom which was nice Kitchen has everything you might need and the house overall has the “visiting grandma’s house” vibe down to a T Breakfast at 8am sharp but none of it was hot (not an issue) so we probably wouldn’t have gotten up quite so early if we had realized that Our double bed was rock hard, also not an issue for us but something to note if you have any back problems The hostess is such a sweet lady and great cook which is why I rate 4 stars and not 3, and also because I don’t rate small business low But I would rate 3 because the host began a prolonged discussion about politics over breakfast – and by discussion, I mean we listened to him talk about his opinion on vaccine mandates and lying politicians We were asked repeatedly don’t we agree – we didn’t, but our hesitancy to answer and vague “not really”s did nothing to quell the speech It was thoroughly awkward for us, especially as a nurse This occurance is still bothering me five days later But overall a solid and homey place to stay

Beth Whitaker

The history of B&Bs in the US began when people would let rooms in the homes to travelers passing through This helped families through challenging times, such as the Great Depression Often travelers would stay only one or two days, have breakfast with the family hosting the travelers, and then the travelers would fix or buy their other meals on their own

Patty and Jerry have captured the essence of a true B&B experience, but enhanced it with wonderful breakfasts catering to special diets, warm personalities, and a charming ambience My travels kept me there way longer than the average, and they were very kind about my staying They even stepped up and have given this mom a huge peace of mind leaving my college freshman 2100 miles from homeThese two are kind Accommodations comfortable and homeyHighly recommend and will be backOnly negatives like hotter shower and one twin bed is harder than I am used too But they still get a rarely used 5 stars because everything else, including them as people, deserve this and a bonus star if allowedOther bonuses: super close to UPS, Gig Harbor, shopping, restaurants, hiking trails, and other attractions If you need anything, just ask either one and they will do what they can

I cannot say enough about this hotel The staff was amazing They are very friendly and talkative

They helped me out in my situation here and accommodated me very well It can be noisy at times, but they realize that and even provided a tip sheet on how to drown out the noise (see picture) The bar and food here are both very good I highly recommend this hotel, just park in the main lot and you’ll be good! They have security and the staff is watchful as well

Derek M

I was only here for a night for work, but it was a pleasant stay Alonzo during check in was knowledgeable and friendly The check in process was a breeze thanks to him

I checked out at 3am and Tiffany was more than helpful! She couldn’t check me out right away due to the overnight audit being completed, but she made sure to get my email, verify the card on file, and check me out as soon as possible She made sure I was prepared for my travels by offering coffee from the snack shop and sending me off with well wishes While waiting for my ride to the airport, I heard her interacting with another guest buying food from the shop, and she even thought to ask if he needed a fork Tiffany is a keeper Thank you all for a pleasant stay!

I didn’t have high expectations but overall this was a pleasant surprise The staff is very friendly and customer service focused The breakfast was probably above average to a fair amount above average

The rooms are about exactly what you would expect but were clean enough and good enough for their purpose Parking is plentiful, although there seems to be a notorious consistent practice of people parking in the very back corners and having their car alarms go off at all hours of the night, though I don’t know that is the Hotels faultThis hotel is a little ways South of Tacoma and a little ways North of Olympia but is basically right on top of Fort Louis and McCord if you’re coming TDY It seems like during the week half the room having breakfast is in military uniform

Stephanie

I’m a little mixed on how to do this review On one hand the room was nice and clean, had a nice mini fridge and microwave and a Keurig coffee pot with about 4 coffee pods and some creamer/sugar packets That all was nice

The bed had a duvet on the bedspread, which scares me that maybe they don’t wash the bedspread, but just the duvet Also the bedspread kept slipping out of it and falling to the floor, that was annoying to keep fixing On the other hand I’m disappointed in the facility because I rented it specifically for the pool and hot tub, the hot tub was out of order and the pool was cold, like really cold I came from Illinois to visit my son and his family on the army base and wanted a pool for the kids to come swim in, if I hadn’t wanted the pool I would have chosen a different hotel closer It was mid 40s outside, so I’m not sure why an indoor pool was so cold, but it was too cold to use The continental breakfast was okay

Cort McAllister

The staff is awesome here Gives you bottled water for free However, this place has 147 rooms and one (1) guest laundry facility

One of the two washing machines is out of service, so now there’s one machine for the entire hotel That creates absolute chaos Not to mention the fact that the year is now 2022 and we are still seeing coin-operated machines instead of the kind which can take a credit or debit card No pets allowed Hot tub taped off, out of order One of the elevators just broke Staff never at the front, sometimes nobody is in the back office either Ice machine is empty

Staff is professional and helpful In room coffee is quite good, plus they give you more if you ask! Bed was super comfy – pillows a bit flat but I had the best nights’ rest here Huge in room TV! Since my family is expecting many family member headed into town for our wedding I am confident this Team will provide a positive experience

Having stayed regularly over the past 13 years, this was our go-to spot for a little luxury getaway stay for a room with a jacuzzi tub to relax Since moving to the area, I’ve routinely recommended the INN at Gig Harbor to family and friends However the most recent visit left us disappointed

The exterior of the building remains charming, but the rooms, furnishings and linens are in dire need of attention and updating

We were so impressed with this hotel!! We stayed in a King room that ended up having a kitchenette, which I was not expecting The room was nicely remodeled The bed was incredibly comfortable

The front desk staff was friendly and helpful at check in The continental breakfast had a good selection of items to choose fromWe will definitely choose to stay here again if we are in the area again!

Moneesha Kamani

Absolute nightmare dealing with Marie and Jose from the hotel They were rude and repeatedly abrupt, and I am still awaiting a call from Megan Riley for a month now The room we got was also unclean and it took a TON of negotiating to clean it! They will say “you can clean your room anytime” on their signage and hoardings, but when you ask them, they will say they clean a room only after 7 days of a stay (even when you show them pictures of dirty hairs and are staying there for 5 days)

Marie will repeatedly call you by another name, and they will promise “to make it right” but do nothing The pool was closed during the stay and the fire alarms – while alarms and drills are necessary, we were not advised at check in! It was 5 days of enduring shrills and entry into the room by different people Oh, and last but not the least, woken at 11 pm by receptionist saying there was noise from my room (when there was none, it was an ice machine down the hallway humming) So, you will be woken up from deep sleep to be advised about imaginary noise that “must be coming from my room” Now you have disturbed two guests, the one complaining about some noise and the other, who was asleep Great hospitality!

Michelle Moena

Great kitchen with fridge/freezer, fully stocked with a list of items you can borrow including a blender!Staff was very friendly and helpful I would give it 5 stats but my skin had a reaction to the sheets Night two they washed a set of sheets in just hot water for me, this helped a little

My legs still turned red and blotchy but I was able to sleep For over $200 a night you’d think they’d have an alternative set of sheets for like an allergen sensitive set of sheets for weird people like meOther than that, they accommodated an early arrival so we could get checked in and onto our high school state track tournament within 10 minutes of our hotelBeing next to the freeway is loud so I recommend bringing earplugs if you’re used to a quieter environment

We stayed here for three weeks while looking for a house The staff was exceptionally kind and compassionate through this rough time We celebrated a birthday, took care of a sick dog, dealt with realtors, and many other very stressful things while staying here

The staff made us feel at home When there was a break in nearby, the staff kept us safe, even having a family member in the parking lot to watch for us The rooms are spacious and were very clean when we got there The whole hotel is clean I loved the snack room and gym I can’t express how great of a stay this was I look forward to staying here again

Andrea Engh

I love how clean the place is The rooms are very spacious and they have a camera always watching the parking lot front and back and all throughout the halls It’s very secure and the staff are always friendly saying hello and how is your day and have a good night

Plus you can borrow stuff for example I needed to borrow a blender It was super easyi just told the lady at front desk and she unlocked the cupboard and got me 1 Plus they always have free coffee all day long and you can borrow movies and even have stuff charged to your room (like an expensive hotel) Here I’ll sum it up in 2 words THEY’RE AWESOME!

Ed Bunch

Nice rooms with full kitchens including a dishwasher

which your expect to use for breakfast as they don’t provide one (as my wife thought 🙂 Price was right as there really isn’t anything around except for the commuter train – less than 1 miles walk Pretty quiet and comfortable They take security pretty seriously as they keep the inner front door locked from outside and you have to be let in depending on the time of day Only one small non-decaf coffee (maybe could ask for more) and no cream is provided to used in the full size coffee maker You get to figure out how much H2O to use Recommended bringing your own ground coffee and breakfast fixins

I really enjoyed my stay at Holiday Inn Express The room was spacious, with all the amenities I needed The customer service was great and everyone was friendly

The only flaw I could mention is the location It was packed into a small parking area, arguably too small for the guests, with a McDonald’s directly in front of the lobby Other than that, my stay was great Happy traveling!

Jack C

Front desk clerk was friendly and helpfulRooms were clean, spacious Felt comfortable and had a good vibe

Only negative is they only had one elevator which you have to wait a long time forOverall would stay at this location again if needed and after looking at hotels in the area is likely one of the better ones

David Machol

I came here because my hotel by the Tacoma Mall was extremely noisy being right next to Hwy 5 plus the area felt very sketchy That night I did not sleep well The person I talked at this Holiday Inn Express over the phone about available rooms away from the 512 freeway was top notch and true to her word

I checked out around 10 and drove for a couple of hours then decided to sit in the lobby until my room was ready The guy at the front desk offered to see if it was It was the first floor but I was tired and took it Up to that point service was excellent and I was extremely happy to find the room very clean and quiet Not only that it came with several K Cups of coffee and coffee cups, not the usual one requiring the need to ask for more In this age of post Covid that is hard to find Though I could hear some foot traffic above me this hotel meet all my expectations and then some A definite must for a revisit the next time I am in the area To top it off there are plenty of choices in restaurants nearby

Absolutely amazing service My reservation got mixed up and the front desk and managers were super accommodating to switch my days around AND talk to my credit card to help get me a refund I stayed here for work only 5 minutes away and will definitely be back for future work trips

Rooms have actual fitted sheets on the bed which is the best and rare for hotels And reasonably priced! 5 stars

Andrew Ryan

I was really impressed by the staff here I’ve stayed in some of the higher end Marriott brands that didn’t have the friendly staff that this hotel has From the front desk to the team at breakfast to the housekeeping staff

everyone was engaged and wanted to make sure we were taken care of and enjoying our stay Ask for a room side away from the highway It can be noisy if your room faces the highway

RUTH G

The room was clean and had great water pressure! Most of the staff was great The gentleman who check is in must have been new He did explain where and thing was, our room, the elevator or breakfast

He also didn’t mention the Wi-Fi Hopefully he improves with some training Word of warning the parking sucks Small parking lot that has a bunch blocked off do to exterior work The rest is on a steep incline and the spots are small

We really enjoyed our stay at the Silver Cloud Inn and would have given five stars if it weren’t for the fact that they charge $14 dollars per night to park for hotel guests Since guests are paying such a high price already for such a nice hotel, you would think they would parking would be included Our room was beautiful and spacious with a gorgeous view

The staff/hotel were very accommodating and welcomed our service dog The hotel is in a safe and nice location, with a dog park just feet away which was very convenient since we were traveling with our service dog The breakfast options were great, they offered both hot and cold items, everything tasted good Staff were always very nice, friendly and prompt in taking care of any of our needs in a timely manner We definitely recommend

Rooms are clean and interior is updated The Staff are super friendly and the location is unbeatable Great views from almost all the rooms

Complimentary Breakfast is also delicious and simple with a fantastic morning viewOnly downside Not enough to take a star away, is the shower The water pressure is a joke More like a trickle

I booked this place for my bf 21st birthday, it was easy booking & they’re friendly and helpful over the phone When we arrived, they upgraded his room to a better view with a jacuzzi complementary for his birthday which was amazing and shocking! Room was clean & fresh & bed is comfortable Definitely recommend & would book again in the future !

The good and the bad… Honest Recent ReviewI had JUST checked in and in a matter of 5 minutes my truck window was smashed- and items stolen- at 1 in the afternoon and parked out front Cost to replace was $500 CDN Police came and they were really nice 😂Staff was AMAZING

Helped me clean up Were very apologetic and kind and I stayed for the remainder of my stay because of itRoom bedding I had to change when I arrived as it was dirty But, they brought warm clean bedding I threw on Rest of the room seemed cleanI mean, to me the Staff make the place They were really good to me Everywhere, and I mean everywhere around here has crime and the exact same issues So at least you’re staying somewhere where they seem to care

We were very upset when our room was changed without our knowledge prior to our arrival We requested and paid for a queen suite so that we could be with our three children together in the same room When we checked in we were told that the suite had not been cleaned and we were going to have to stay in two separate rooms that had queen beds

I explained to the person checking us in that we needed a suite in order to remain together as a family for our vacation and was told that there was nothing he could do about it and he seemed annoyed that I cared He said you “would not rather have two rooms?” I then requested that we change rooms the next day in order to be together for the remainder of our stay and at first he told us that that could not happen but then changed and said it could For that night my husband and I had to stay in separate rooms and split the kids When we spoke with the new person at the check-in counter the next morning they again seemed surprised that we would not prefer two separate rooms and we had to explain again that we have our children and did not want to be sleeping in separate rooms on our vacation They let us know that the queen suite that we reserved was currently full and we would have to wait for the people to check out and the room to be cleaned This let us know that the hotel chose to take more money and allow someone else that suite even though we had booked in advance and paid the day that we booked for that room It was clear to me that there was no care or thought about how that would affect our stay and nobody called to let us know that we would not have that suite or offered a refund for that night to see if we could find a suite elsewhere, instead they knew that when we arrived we would have no option but to stay in two separate rooms and the hotel was able to get money for double booking the room that we already paid for Whenever we travel I look for hiltons in the area because it is typically the most comfortable stay, but I no longer trust Hilton to honor reserving the room that we pay for

Our stay was very pleasant! The staff were kind and attentive! Our room was comfortable, clean, and accommodating I am not sure if every room has this, the headboard displayed some of the local town in a painting style A unique touch! The continental hot breakfast was well put together! With all the amenities this hotel provides this surely made a great deal!

Tracy McPherson

Overall a very good hotel The only reason I rated a little lower is that the neighborhood around the hotel is starting to get pretty run down There is a tent city directly on the other side of the fence for the hotel parking lot and a lot of activity there

I do want to note however, that we have not had any issues at all related to that, and the hotel staff is awesome and very accommodating They have a very secure parking lot and key requirements to even get in the building as well as night security guards as well That being said, I don’t like feeling like I’m in prison when I go to a hotel Hopefully the city will get the area cleaned up

Ambria Affriseo

Surprised with the size of the rooms & I loved the lighted mirror & window covers They allow as much natural light as you want or completely darken the room I through some sound motion lights around the head board of the bed & gave the room some color therapy

The kids loved it Also, the storages made it easy to keep the room looking clean while still having all your personal items at your fingertips & organized Overall I give this hotel ☆☆☆☆☆

Erich Jaber

My experience was an over-the-top delight From the start it was easy to navigate to and find the hotel, even after a stressful day and a challenging drive I pulled into valet to be pleasantly welcomed and I hadn’t even gotten out of my car

The individuals working (Eric) were pleasant, sharp and communicated well, very helpful Then as I entered I was met with a visual delight The lighting, the art and decor, the layout and design were all great However, the staff provided to be the true delight Check in was a breeze, (Erika) was so informative and vibrant I felt at ease by her disposition as she spent just a few minutes sharing with us about our amenities, opportunities and entertainment Really a pleasurable experience that rewarded me with calmness and excitement, how refreshing So as we took the elevator we noticed we couldn’t feel a thing while riding it Then we turned our attention to being excited with what our room experience would be like, given everything so far As we opened our door we were very impressed It was a wave of awe, a sense of appointment, intentional if not deliberate thought was given to the tiniest of details The room was glorious, the king size bed comfortable, the freshness of the comforter was incredible The pillows were a little stiff and over large but otherwise fine There was even a bottle of wine to greet us with real glassware located through the room An umbrella to use (how thoughtful) and many many amenities for use, including the ever needed vanity kit Really an immersive room experience Absolutely nothing was in want in this room Except those pillowsThe pool and hot tub, I will say is by far, the absolute best in the entire City of Tacoma or Ruston, as far as hotels go Those jets melted away the tensionBut, let’s talk about the restaurant/bar The food was absolutely divine, atmosphere was euphoric and the view was majestic The staff (Katrina) was excellent Really high caliber people serving in a high quality environment Check out those pictures!Anyways, I could go on and on why I would give this one night stay the highest rating ever, but really you gotta experience this for yourselfBy the way, little extra tidbit, I met another customer that drove all the way from Seattle, just for the steak and eggs breakfast! Even after a twelve hour work shift! After my first bite of mine, I understoodThank you for rescuing my hope in hotels

Where do I start The front desk staff was nice when we checked in, that’s about it We were “walked over” to this hotel because the Marriott Downtown lost our reservation and was over booked

The Marriott told us AND the front desk at this overly priced hotel they would be covering our room and taxes etc This was confirmed at the front desk when we checked in The supervisor was advised by the Marriott to bill them for the charges I signed a paper and was told I would only have a $100 hold on my card for incidentals The girl while he was talking to the Marriott about them paying for it said “you guys are going to LOVE this room, the only thing we have left is a King Jacuzzi Suite”…Awesome, not necessary but we were just happy to have a place to stay after a long day of traveling, we probably would have taken a bunk bed in a hostile at that point we were so exhausted Fast forward to today when I find that this hotel has now charged me over EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR THE ROOM!!! Not only did no one pay for our room as promised but they charged my card WITHOUT my authorization for $812…for one night The hotel we had booked at the Marriott was $330 When I called to speak to them about the charges the girl I spoke with very rudely said “I’ll send you to accounting please hold BYE”…Waited on hold for a few minutes then got immediately transferred to a voicemail and no one has bothered to call me back This is completely unethical and unprofessional Oh and we rolled in there with a 2019 Toyota Camry and got looked at like we were trash by the valet, quickly shooed out of their MANDATORY $32/night Valet as soon as 2 Lamborghini’s pulled up behind us Negative 1 star is I could…

Chris K (Chrislk1986)

Didn’t actually stay at the hotel, but came and visited family during a weekend stayThe rooms are very nice and there are some great views to be had The pool was nice, weather was perfect

We ordered some takeout from outside of the hotel and the restaurant forgot to put plates/utensils in Front desk staff was able to provide some plates and forks–And with amazing speed! We very much appreciated the effortThe restaurant in the lobby is great as well It was packed the weekend we were there (maybe a wedding nearby?) And everyone was professional and worked hard to get everyone’s orders in and fulfilledThe location? Perfect Right in the middle of the bustling Ruston Waterfront There’s a park, public market, movie theatre and a great selection of dining outside of the hotel Farmers market is right there too, not sure when it starts, but keep that in mind on Sundays, it’ll be pretty busy Oh, there’s also an ice cream shop right across the street, which is sure to be a popular on a nice day

The rooms are arranged a bit different from what a normal hotel might do and I think it works Fast and roomy elevator Ac/heat works really well and gets to temp quickly Great water pressure I really enjoyed that there is actual shelves in the shower Zone Lighting in the room where needed Super cool area too Lots to do within walking distance 100% would stay again

I attended a meeting here The space is very nice, the catering was good We had make your own sandwich trays

The restrooms are clean and modern Parking is a challenge We parked across the street and the payment machines were inoperable I had to go to the front desk to pay for parking That was extra time while I was rushing to get to my meeting

IMR

The rooms were nice & the hotel was very elegant & clean The only thing wrong was the way the built the parking garage It is very tight & narrow

If you have a big truck or pulling a trailer you will have to park on the street They can’t even get a tow truck in it Be very aware this parking garage is very small Maybe they thought all their guests & staff would be driving smart cars
