Pros:

The bed and room was clean. The ladies at the front desk where nice.

Cons:

That I had pay 75.00 for parking. I didn't have anything else near the hotel to choose from. Also the entrance wasn't easily accessible. The resturant in the hotel, the food was way over priced for quality of the food.
