Hotel requires you to pay to park per day. When asked to refund parking due to not parking on their property, they stated they would credit it and never did. Staff also did not handle disruptive guests throughout the duration of our stay.

Place was way out of date very small,AC unit worked but was very noisy. Charged a 14.99 cleaning resort fee which is outrageous. That fee made this hotel more expensive then a nicer one they don't tell u about this fee until you check in. BEWARE!
