Parking was terrible. I had to park so far away both nights. And the window lights in the parking lot. It’s very dangerous. But it’s a hotel. Guess I shouldn’t have to park so far away. I mentioned it to The Manager on duty and I received a blank stare. She then informed me that it had been fixed and now it’s broken. Not sure what that was supposed to do.

Food and drinks are over priced for the quality. Service was very poor. Decor ran down. Furniture beat up. No grass for dogs, only weeds.
