Owner has removed all broadcast channels that are not FOX. So if you wanna watch any other broadcast channel besides FOX then you’re SOL. Also. No channel guides in the room. Expensive parking is the only option. No one answering front desk phones in the AM at 7:15am. LOTION is watered down.

Good standard hotel.
An entire wall (along the beds) didn't have power (?). The outlets and lamps on that half didnt work, and neither did the HVAC system. Due to the stay being one night and a late arrival we didn't bring this up during our visit. One drawer in our room had a bag of empty cans and trash.
Besides this the room was pretty clean and the staff were nice.
