I didn't like when I was asked for parking fee of $50. There is a confusion on Expedia booking when it says parking and breakfast is available. Be clear if it is included or not instead of confusing the customer.

Not great. The area is riddled with homeless drug addicts at every entrance. It felt dangerous my wife refused to stay another night and we booked another hotel in a different location. The hote refused to help me refund the remaining 2 days we had booked.
