Very nice rooms and area. Everything good except hidden parking cost charged with no warning. Part problem with Travelocity, prepaid but the do not itemize the receipt. However the staff charged parking again with no warning or info prior. For a higher rate then offered through Travelocity. Called to question and was dismissed and told it would be looked into.

Hidden fee

I would have rated this hotel excellent except when i showed up i was informed that there waa a $20 overnight parking fee. There were no events nearby. I stayed in town two more nights but moved to the Comfort Suites right next door - same price for rooms but no $20 parking fee.
