The room had a fan! it was very welcome as the weather was warm. i easily found a parking space upon arrival. This eased my mind immediately. a call came prior to arrival, sharing the entertainment guide, and i felt very informed.

The room felt dated. The hotel definitely needs a refurb. I found the double bed uncomfortably small. I did not sleep well. Vegetarian options were missing at breakfast. Only hash browns and beans were available.
