Parking was easy and the location was convenient. Great with the access to dinner. The available kitchenette was not very well maintained which was unfortunate. The room itself was a good size.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We paid extra for an ‘upgrade’ however they only have one room type and all rooms are shared bathroom. It was outright stealing neither Expedia or the hotel willing to refund the extra $71 I paid. Outright disgusting. Loud music and fighting out front all night. Bathroom was absolutely disgusting.
