For paying a premium you don’t get premium amenities. Pay extra for parking in a public parking lot, then get parking tickets on top of it. Pay $17 for breakfast buffet that isn’t any better than motel 6. Sink was broken and hot water that you need to wait 10 minutes for…

The gentleman who checked me in was wonderful, I ended up forgetting to book a night and he was able to help me extend my trip so I could stay in the same room all nights, the bad part of this was the room itself, the floors were first, the AC didn’t work and the windows were broken so we had to call maintenance to open the windows (and to close them if we wanted that), when told about the AC, they offered no way of getting it fixed and just offered to bring us a box fan that was so loud we couldn’t sleep and that didn’t even help much, I had to request a second fan just to get the air moving through our hotel room and that still didn’t help bring the temperature down. I couldn’t sleep the entire 3 nights we were there and the staff was unapologetic and just gave us an excuse of a “transitional period” I’m pretty disappointed in this because the hotel lobby itself was very nice an inviting. After a 7 day road trip I was looking forward to relaxing and sleeping in for the last few days of vacation but that really didn’t happen. The breakfast at the restaurant was ok, food was bland but for the $15 add on it got the job done.
