Good location - Average hotel

Good location. Not a great hotel. The room given had no door handle, just a hole in the door where the handle used to be, so the door couldn't be closed. We were able to change rooms. They also charge a fee to leave your luggage for a couple of hours after checking out. I have never heard of a hotel charging a fee to hold luggage.
