Room:

"The room is suspect with the type of clientale they really receive, because the floors and chairs were so dirty and full of spots, I was afraid to lay on the sheets and blanket. However, the room was a pretty nice size, and if you are only staying for a few hours, this place would be fine." — source Hotels.com

"not enough parking spaces, parking spaces to small, then charged $10 for parking, smoking in hallways and rooms, walls and ceilings need repair and painting, blankets need replacing, etc." — source Travelocity
