There is no parking for the vehicle at the hotel. You have to park your vehicle across the street at a public parking lot . You don’t have to pay for it if you are staying at the hotel but it was inconvenient not to have the car there. The breakfast was good and room was nice. It’s downtown so it’s near everything

I booked a room with two beds, and the hotel did not provide what I reserved. Because of this, I had to pay extra to get the room I needed. Expedia also charged the full amount using my Rewards, and I still have no resolution while Expedia and the hotel “figure it out.” This is unacceptable. I would not stay here again.
