Hotel needs better signage for overnight parking. First paid private lot and then the front desk said they had their own parking fee separate that if I knew would have paid instead.

Disliked: Amenities
The hotel room was not amazing but acceptable. The room was a bit run-down, the mini fridge was broken and clearly needed to be defrosted, the curtains were dirty and the water pressure in the shower was very poor. On Google maps and their main website, they advertise for breakfast and the pictures include a hot tub at the pool, but only about half the breakfast items are available at a time and the hot tub was filled in and no longer an amenity. Also, for the price of the hotel, it is surprising that you need to pay for water.

Looked forward to out 2 night stay. Carpets stained in the room. Beds comfortable. Front desk staff cordial. Loud party in room next door so asked to be moved. Put us in basement lower level. Room obviously had not been used for awhile. Very dusty. Centipede in bathroom. Breakfast below average so did not eat there. Very disappointed and will not return.

Parking was insufficient and not monitored. The hotel charged a fee to park but couldn’t guaranteed that a spot was available. There were more guests than parking available. The front desk told us to go search for a spot and if there wasn’t one, use an overflow lot off the property but stilled CHARGED. The parking was crazy, cars waiting, then racing to a spot, people trolling waiting for a long time for a spot to open, pedestrians standing in open spots while drivers raced to get the spot, it was nuts and totally lacked order or adequate accommodation for guest. Staff inside didn’t care and offered no help. And of course, they stilled charged for parking. Never seen anything like it.
