The unexpected cost of $15.00 parking was not expected and was an added cost to my stay cost. I would have considered other options at other hotels. This cost of parking should have been known before booking stay. Another disappointing about stay is that the handwashing soap was completely empty when checking in the room and shower bath soap was 1/2 empty and blow dryer was damaged to where it can cause injury. This made me wonder if the room was checked before we got in the room. I have taken pictures to back my story. Please have housekeeping check everything before continuing to the next room.

Receptionist was very courteous, pleasant and helpful. Room was clean. Didn’t like being on the ground floor with the window open to the parking lot. Closing the blinds made the room very dark. Breakfast was good. Would stay here again.
