Okay stay

helpful tips great location spacious room inconvenient parking outdated hotel pet hair

The staff greeted me with a smile, and gave helpful tips. The location was great. It was a short walk to attractions. I found the room clean and spacious, and the bed comfortable (i slept like a baby!).

The parking situation was not the best, it lacked convenience. The hotel seemed a little outdated.
