Not scenic

This is a medium large hotel. It is ugly on the outside with a restaurant that looks like a school cafeteria. There are no views. They say they have parking.... but that is just to lure you in. Its never available.... and its a fair walk to non timed parking.

The facility does not have enough parking spaces and we got to know this until we arrived. We had have to park on the street in front of the hotel and had no idea where to offload the luggage. Only after checked in we get the information from the hotel staff. Not a great choice if traveling with a vehicle.
