The hotel is clean but not new, staff does a good job cleaning the hallways and maintaining it. The surprise was the paid parking, they donā€™t tell you that before. They charge $15 per day to park. The location is great if youā€™re without a car, theres lots of food and shops within a few minutes walking distance.
