Nice enough hotel but appalled by the $22 per night parking charge which just seemed like a money grab. This is a suburban hotel surrounded by acres of half filled parking lot. None of the other hotels in the area that I’ve stayed at charge for parking, think I will be staying at one of those places next time. Also, very annoying that there was no mirror above the sink in the bathroom because of the silly shutters which opened out into the bedroom.
