When I first arrived there was not much parking outside due to an event happening. Once that cleared there was a lot of parking. The suite was clean. It took about 5 mins to get hot water to the shower but once it was there it was very hot. Overall good stay!

Front desk staff were excellent! Lobby was nice. Snack options beside front desk were nice. Disappointing that the pool was under renovation and was not clearly put on Expedia. (that I could see). Elevators are in bad shape and gave bad first impression. Rooms are clean but dark and gloomy. Beds are very hard. Hotel has potential but needs a makeover.
