Have stayed here several times the property is dated (no plugs for phones in this era?? And paying 20 for overnight parking when no one downtown and your lot behind the hotel is empty?) and extra costs not worth staying here other options close by with same amenities and no hidden costs and property not nearly as dated won’t be coming back.
