"This hotel charges $20 per day for parking and $35 per day resort fee. This adds a lot to your bill especially when you are not using the amenities included in the resort fee. A group of 4 of us went to the bar which doesn't open to 3 pm. We waited until it opened and the staff was not friendly nor provided much service. Exterior of the hotel looks dated."

"The Valet was great!!! My car would not start, and he spent time helping me and getting it started. I don't know his name, but he was on duty the morning of 08/22/2026. I really really appreciated all his help; He should get a raise!! The room was ok, but the carpets need some help along with the bathrooms."
