The room was great and hotel was clean in general. Breakfast was really good and had a lot of great option. However, when the front desk person took my credit card upon check-in I specifically asked if it would be charged and the person said that it won't be charged but only on file if something happens. A few days after my stay I got a charge of $12 on the card. I called and the hotel explained it was for parking. Looking back at the details it does say there is a $12 fee for parking which I missed and don't mind paying for. What bothered me was that there was not upfront communication about what my card was used for. Otherwise I'd give this hotel a 4.5 or 5 stars.

I had an extremely poor customer service experience. There was an error in billing. It took 4 calls to the hotel to get my money refunded. After the third call, they issued a refund, but not for the full amount. I had to call a forth time. When I did, they said that they did not refund the full amount because there is a charge for parking. We were never alerted to that cost. Frustrating and time consuming to say the least! The room was clean. Be aware that there is a lot of road noise from the adjacent highway.
