Room was nice. Parking was 10/day and lot was not the easiest to park unless you parked on level 2 that was outside and accessible by anyone walking by. There were not a lot of parking spots available. Breakfast was not included as mentioned on the booking. You could hear noises outside through the night. When you were sleeping

Rachael, 2-night trip

4/10 Fair

The hotel was clean and very up to date. But, the man at the front desk was extremely rude. I have never checked into a hotel and had someone talk to my family the way he did. He wouldn't even tell us where our room was. I told him we have a U-haul trailer and adked is parking available and we were told you have to pay for 2 spots and there was room, even through I asked prior to booking we had to wait an hour before we could get parking. I will never stay again, nothing to the hotel, but extremely rude male at the check in desk. I never leave a bad review until now
