A very average hotel. Front desk didn’t give me the whole talk about the amenities, check out time or even my room number when checking in. Just handed me my keys for my room and key for parking. Yes they charge for parking, and “incidentals” and another $20 after I checked out in the morning. These guys really need money bad to keep the hotel running u suppose.

This hotel was great. Really perfect location. Big rooms. Nice staff. Cafe and restaurant on site. Will be my go-to. Only isue was internet was down for 24 hours, but I was told that's not the norm and was also offered a comp for a dinner at the restaurant. All in all, a pretty perfect place to stay.
