Great location but overrated

My bathroom smelled like it was hot boxed before I checked in. Thats why the bathroom fan fan was running. The dead bolt was not installed properly and would not fully engage. Not a very safe feeling in in a unfamilar room when you are trying to sleep.

Check in was fine but surprised with a $10 charge to park on the hotel property. Absolute moral killer to get hit with the charge knowing full well I was already committed to paying for the room. Its a cheap move and I will never stay there again. Penny wise and Pound Foolish strategy.

The guy working the front desk was not friendly and felt like he was forced to be there to work. We were given a handicapped room, and didn't realize it till our last day. That's why the shower is a ground tile with only a curtain covering. That's why when you shower water is all over. Toilet has no lid and no hair dryer. You can hear all the noise outside. There was a guy yelling outside at 3 am.
