Unfortunate to get locked out of my room for 90 mins on the first night due to key access not working this then proceeded to happen on night 2 also. Once this issue was resolved eventually everything was fine.

Parking Rip-Off, Will Not Return

Please be aware that this hotel does not actually provide proper parking, despite advertising that it does. The parking system is a complete rip-off. They advertise daily parking for $20, but here’s the catch: 0–1 hour: $5 1–2 hours: $10 Full day: $20 However, if you leave and return, the charges start all over again as if it were a new entry. The hotel should either remove the “parking available” claim from their advertisement or clearly inform guests about this unreasonable system. I will never stay at this hotel again.
