"Staff and breakfast was great! I really was offended by the daily on premises parking fee of $25 per day. It was never clearly posted on any site. I would have paid for a higher reasonable room rate and had the parking as a amenity service like the advertised free morning breakfast."

"My biggest question would be why on earth are the towels grey…? They don’t look clean even if they are, but also they don’t look like the color is intentionally chosen… they’re pale grey and look as though they just don’t get washed properly."
