Business only hotel

This is a business hotel located in the middle of a business park. All outside restaurants were located at least a mile away. Room was a little small for the price. The special price we received hardly covered the parking fee which was outrageous. Would not recommend this hotel to families or anyone on a budget looking for a quick overnight stay

Charges Extra to Book at Hotels.com

This place charged another fee per night in hidden fees that they did not disclose until checkout (I had read previous reviews and called to ask prior to arriving) because I booked on Hotels.com.
