"As always the room was great. Clean. Comfy bed. Bath was a little small. Parking & front desk staff was a nightmare. I tried 6 times to exit the parking lot to return my rental car & the ticket didn’t work. No matter what they tried it didn’t work. I finally gave up & parked. Then the front desk guy said he had to charge me for parking. He eventually relented……"
