Cons:

I feel there should be no charge for parking in their lot. I received an email with confirmation saying parking is $10 a night though when we checked out, it was 12 there was no security walking around that the $12 was going towards to pay them. signs posted parking at your own risk so why am I paying for parking?

Cons:

Carpet was coming up in room, breakfast was pretty empty when we arrived at 8:45 ( service was supposed to continue to 9:30) - even the cooler with milk and yogurt was empty, only had 2 towels when reserved for 3 people, had to ask for additional towels, paid for room in full but asked for another $100 advance on our credit card, additional $10 charge for a parking spot. Very disappointing.

Pros:

酒店设施齐全,比较新,停车在院子里,但要收费。酒店位置离德国社区比较近,但离市中心还有一定距离,需要开车十几分钟。早餐也比较满意。

Cons:

安排我们住一楼靠近马路,窗帘都不能打开,否则房间里一目了然。
