Overpriced -PARKING FEES

I would start with the good about this hotel , it’s located walking distance from the Riverwalk, Alamo, Mall, Restaurants. Pictures of the hotel online are nicer than what you see inside the room . Hotel is old but renovated, overpriced in my opinion! the only complaints I have is the smell in the hallway and rooms, and the fact that we have to pay for parking ( $50) if you drive an SUV or truck( as those are considered oversized vehicles) $40 for tiny cars.
