Nice hotel with comfortable rooms. Paying $35 for parking makes this room not worth it when you can find a nicer hotel for same price with breakfast.

I was picking up the Vonlane bus so didn’t stay in the hotel. I waited inside the lobby, which is very nice and has vending machines. There was plenty of parking so I was able to leave my car there.

3 stars bc they now charge $35 dollars to park in an empty parking lot. Not good optics especially since it’s not even down town where there is limited parking. Money grab.

The overwhelming smell of cheap cologne hits you as you walk in the door. What are they trying to mask?
Room is newly renovated by the off gassing of the cheap carpet further perpetuates the smell overload with a headache sure to follow.
I-35 noise is constant
No hot water for shower during peak morning hours.
$35 parking is ridiculous. Booked via AMEX GBT which makes no mention of this.
