The front desk lady wasn’t nice at all. It seems like she was there because she didn’t have any choice. Also, the parking is expensive, not part of the hotel. However there was a sign that says “Courtesy parking for guests” I figured that it will be free for guests at the hotel. Never again.

Dislike you have to pay for parking. The property is quiet and the staff is friendly. The gym wasn’t big but it had the essentials. Loved the sauna. My room had hair in random places the shower, the floor, towels, and counter. But I don’t expect a hotel to be 100% clean. So it was doable for me.
