appreciate the input all.^
for $2, garage is for sure the way to go, I'm sure someone will be able to save the $2 by finding a spot on the street/elsewhere but upon our arrival at 11pm, I wasn't up for the challenge.
Pool did look nice, sadly did not get to use.
No recognition of club carlson status (my whopping gold status

) at checkin. Not that I expect a party but a simple, "I see you are a gold member w/Club Carlson, thanks for your business" type statement is something I expect from companies I do repeated business with.
Anyone else hear the trains? ~4:30AM & 5:30AM I heard fairly clear two different frieght trains, one most have been going quite slow so was blowing it's horn repeatedly (I stopped counting at 25 blasts). I don't think there are RR tracks next to the property but they certainly were close enough that it woke me up (I'm not a light sleeper).
Bed was just ok for comfort, pillows (although 4) were just not comfortable to me, could not find a 'good one' and I don't think I'm that picky.
Wall heat/ac unit thermostadt is quite clicky, air is audible but not overly loud.
There was a single bottle of water in the room.
We left by 7am so didn't get to try breakfast.
Lobby is fine but hallways/rooms could use some updating.
Overall I was ok with the stay and if I had a need in the area I would consider the property again.
