No welcome, no parking; it seems the staff was tired. It was very expensive for an old room. I had to walk around outside the hotel to a multi-floor parking lot, which had a lot of people wandering around. I felt unsafe.

NO PARKING
There is NO PARKING unless you pay 30.00 a night in the parking garage. There is no security so as a female I had to walk through the garage down the street passing homeless sitting on the sidewalk to check in.

It is a very nice clean property right downtown. We were even more impressed with the friendly front desk staff and the lady in the breakfast area. Parking is very limited but it is because it is right downtown near restaurants and bars.

Older hotel with paid parking only. Convenient, with limited services and staff. Good for a football weekend, but very basic.
