helpful team clean room expensive parking coffee machine

The team was helpful. I liked the breakfast variety. My Standard King Room Hot was clean, a great relief after a long journey. The television had many channels. I found some interesting shows.

The parking lot was expensive! It was also very tight. I didn't find that ideal for my rental car.
