When coming in later at night parking was hard to find due to a CSX truck and trailer taking up parking spaces across the back of the lot. Which never moved the week we was there. Handicap parking spots being taken by employees. Other than some parking issues our stay was wonderful, staff was friendly, and breakfast was good.
