Book somewhere else
Cons:

The rooms look way better in the pictures than they do in person. To start off with the comforters on both beds were old looking and stained. Then in order to park your car on the lot you need to pay $15 A DAY. Which is ridiculous. We were told we could park on the side of the building but they weren't responsible if anything happened to our car as if we were given much of a choice. The pictures make it seem like a new and renovated modern hotel when actually they placed semi new furniture in an old motel. Very disappointed. Won't be staying there again.
