Room was budget friendly and in a good central location to most attractions. Car parking was painful but the staff helped above and beyond to accomodate large vehicles. Would we stay again. Yes we certainly would.

Meh

The parking garage is a nightmare. After struggling to park in the handicapped parking, we were directed to move into a handicapped parking spot tougher because of the size of our car. It’s a bare minimum room accommodation with zero bells and whistles and our view faced a wall.

ZERO STARS

Absolutely terrible. The Hotel lost ALL power and we were told to just deal with it and offered zero compensation. Would not recommend it and will never stay here again.
