Pros:

They do charge for parking for guests which is crazy as it isn’t a garage or located in a metropolitan area but it’s only $6/night.

Pros:

Bathroom was basically clean but old, had cracks in floor, old water damaged that had been painted over. Room was small and basic. Air conditioner had tape surrounding the unit…looks like it was secured in place by the tape. Terrible moldy smell in the room. Probably won’t stay here again.
Also, the breakfast staff were unfriendly.
