What makes me ANGRY is the fact parking doesn’t come with the room!! Seems like if they rent out their establishment they would make sure parking is part of the fee!! But guess what rich not enough for the rich man!! Then I had to turn around and pay 26.00 per night to park at the hotel I rented from!! Some people only have just enough!!
