The parking's convenient & free. An attached parking garage w/ an elevator that brings you right down to the lobby. Lobby is ok, a bit cheaper-looking than expected from the pictures. Check-in was fast. The room (king deluxe) was small but not cramped. The 'street view' room was reccomended by the staff-- a main highway, gas station and the sounds (Harleys all the time) to go w/ it. Linens were too crisp.Pillows were nice. Furniture had some glass and other stains (looked like some lotion was smeared), nice style but not high quality. Coffeemaker brewed 'brown water.' Bathrobes were thin though a nice surprise along with bathslippers (cheap). Bathroom had no fan (gross) but the sink/vanity was pretty. Provisions (towels, shampoo, soap, bodywash, lotion, conditioner, shoe thing, sewing kit, etc etc were plenty and nice smelling) Toilet water kept running, had to call 2x to have housekeeping come up, but fixed it well. Then the front desk called 3 times (while we were trying to nap) to make sure the toilet was fixed. Nice flat screen TV and great selction of movies. Bottom line, if you want REAL luxury you'll just have to pay for it but this place is better than mediocre.
