The hotel is old and the area is sketchy .There is a big gap in the door and the door bolt does not hold and someone can open to get in. We feel so unsafe and found ourselves another hotel that evening.The parking looks ok but the area seems not safe and we have an Alfa Romeo Lesson learned get a name brand hotel
