Air conditioning and parking not working.

Hotel was fine and front desk very nice and helpful. Room air conditioning was awlful. It would stop working after 30 minutes. Parking space while paid for (for other couple we were traveling and staying at hotel with)was usually not avaialble becuse of non paid parkers in garage. A solution needs to be found, or the front desk needs to provide valet service.

Only issues for hotel

Our stay was very nice, with only 2 issues which we truly were not pleased with. Paid for parking, but they have an issue with non-payers getting into the parking garage. Therefore, no parking 2 evenings in a row. Going back & forth, checking if a space was available. This was very unfortunate. The garage has a card key entry, but another could come in right behind. The easiest way is to have someone come thru hotel lobby, push the garage level button, without needing a card entry. Then person can get downstairs and open the garage door from downstairs. Frustrating for sure. The other issue, much less frustrating, no coffee ability in the room. Staff members were very nice, except for one who chose to count his cash box instead of trying to help with our parking situation.

A convenient and basic hotel right at the Railway Station. Foyer and decor a little 'wacky'. Limited parking under which guests have to pay.

Ok hotel

The hotel itself was fine but unfortunately the breakfast was so horrible. No fresh fruits, in fact the only things available were frozen chopped up pieces. Reception is also super slow at serving. Overall was an OK hotel for a short stay but was a little depressing.
