2. I was picturing a hotel with high cielings, a nice pool and hot tub to relax in at night, free parking?(22 dollars to valet your car, or you can 'park on the street' like they said, but there is a lot across the street that you can get for cheaper than 20) or even just friendly staff.

3. We arrived and were immediately greeted by the valet who was more than helpful then when we walked in to the lobby the front desk agent, whose name for the life of me I can't remember but it started with a D, greeted us and was friendly, helpful and full of suggestions for us as it was our first time visiting.

5. On my way out, after tipping the gangster-looking valet (uniforms would've been good so you know he's not), a young couple also leaving accidentally dropped a couple cases of Bud light in the driveway in front of my car.

8. It is $22 to valet your car with the hotel, which is necessary because parking around the hotel is a pain in the butt.

10. Know up front that you:Will pay $22 for on-site valet parkingAre staying in an older, remodeled motel-type propertyWon't have a pool or hot tubMay have a small room, without much of a viewThese seem to be the things that disappoint the most, especially when you're unprepared, and frankly, I set my expectations low.
