Didn't like that parking wasn't included in the price, had to pay an extra $10 a night to park in safe and convenient place. Also had to pay an extra $100 up front, which you get back at the end of your stay if everything is ok with the room. They do check the room before you leave and yes I got back all the money but if you don't know in advance it can drain your finances.

It was okay for what it was, comfortable and clean but very minimal.
