The staff was very courteous. There was an issue with the fridge in my original room and they immediately moved me to another room. The room itself was clean. The one issue was paying for parking, which I don’t think is right. It was expensive and unnecessary, especially with the other fees and taxes added in on top of the room rate. The sticker shock is around $100 of taxes and fees, plus parking.
