There is no microwave available plus super small refrigerator . Breakfast is a joke there, I could have apple first morning but next 3 mornings not even apple available only few sugar low quality stuff. Plus they asking to charge $10 per night extra for parking lot which is not a normal asking while all another same range price hotels in that area not asking for extra charges for parking lot.

Neighborhood is terrible with few food options. This hotel is bizarre. Greek statues in the lobby and food area while every door in the place has been beaten and dented. No complaints about the room. At least the Marriott next door has security and food.
