Used PRICELINE and got great one night weekend price with breakfast voucher for two.
Free parking. Free WiFi.
Room was clean and spacious for two queen beds, TV and minifridge.
Lobby has computers and fax service and a little Market for water bottles and other items like bottled bear.
Reception was polite and helpful.
First floor room was a little humid but you can crack the window a tad to help.
The bathroom appeared clean but the shower head and facet were loose and nearly detached from the wall. A floor tile was also loose.

I enjoyed my stay here. The breakfast was good and the location was nice. I'm very disappointed that the person who checked me in did not inform me that parking was $24 per night. Having to pay for parking is ridiculous! Most hotels in the area offers free parking. Probably wont stay here again due to having to pay for parking
