The hotel advertised a hot tub, but signs at floor level and in the elevator have the hot tub line scribbled out with black marker. The pool level flooring is warped and covered in duct tape. Parking costs an additional $15/ day that was not advertised, and parking is limited and/or full evenings and weekends.

Ok for the price, except for a few issues
Overall, ok except the room stayed very warm on a cold night even with the heat turned low, the hallway carpet was very dirty, and there wasn’t much food selection at the breakfast.
