Hotel is a bit dated but kept clean. Breakfast and staff were nice. Only small issue I had was I couldn’t adjust the temperature in the room - there was no “fan” setting and I would have liked the room cooler. Lack of air circulation made the room feel a little claustrophobic.

We arrived early, asked if we could park our vehicle at the hotel until check in. We were informed we could not and had to check in. We asked to check in and they informed us that we would be charged an early check in fee of 53 USD. We parked elsewhere. Hotel was extremely noisy during the evening rooms were in poor condition. Would not recommend
