They started charging 20.00 per day for parking. I think this is a way to make more money considering we paid for the room. They changed their breakfast. They used to make a different variety of food for you to choose from now it is the same thing every day. The mattress is very very firm not comfortable.

It was good except they have started charging for parking, 20.00 a day and the breakfast has changed a lot. They used to make several different foods now it is scrambled eggs and sausage links everyday. We liked the potatoes and different pancakes they used to make. My husband liked the grits. But they stopped all that. I really don’t like that they charge for parking when you already paid to stay there.

BEWARE OF EXTRA FEES WHEN CHECKING OUT !!

Breakfast was just meh, your regular eggs, bagels, etc. Service was average overall, front desk staff was helpful except when we checked out, they charged us for parking, which we were not told about at any point of our stay, except at check out time. When we booked our stay, it stated ON THIS SITE, that all fees were included, so we should not have been charged these extra fees. We will not be staying here again.

$300 locals fee???

After I paid and I could no longer cancel. I received a msg that I would be charged an additional deposit of $150.00 plus $40day parking. When I arrived I was actually charged a "locals" fee of $300.00 plus the parking. It was too late to cancel. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean.

We had a problem with the AC and the staff was very attentive. They could not fix it so they moved us to a different room. Comfortable and enjoyable.

$22.30 parking/other fees not disclosed when I checked in. Location was okay, but not worth $20 per night for parking. And not even close enough to downtown to walk feasibly, esp. in the summer heat. Wish I’d read previous reviews which warned of hidden fees.
