We used public transportation rather than rent a car: The bus stop was conveniently located right outside of the hotel for local use or for a transfer to the Amtrak station; restaurant options were within walking distance, and Ubers were available within minutes.

First of all, my TV had no remote, the sliding doors for the porch would not lock. I had to sleep with the door open all night, there were two people at the desk and they said they cannot leave the front desk. I have to wait till the morning. It was a horrible state. I do not recommend this hotel.
