The Expedia page says parking available for $35 night, this is incorrect there is no parking available and we ended up paying $90. They did upgrade our room but we were only sleeping in it, so zero value and the door kept falling of the bathroom. Overall this is a 3 star property but incorrect info makes me mark it down. On a positive side the staff were very polite and tried to help.
