Life Is a Highway Here
A number of people criticized that you're surrounded by traffic at this hotel. They say that one side is the highway and the other is a busy street. So if traffic noises tend to keep you awake, be sure to bring your earplugs according to guests.
negative:
Since Parking a Shared, Space Is Limited
One of the biggest issues mentioned is the lack of parking. The lot is shared with the Denny's Restaurant. So according to some guests you'll have to compete with diners for a place to park or simply have to find someplace nearby for your vehicle.
negative:
Tired Looking Location for the Price
Some guests mentioned that the hotel looks a little worn out and dated. They also added that for the price they paid, they expected a bit more luxury. Still, others guests mentioned that, for the area, it wasn't an exceedingly high price.
