    • Review: "The website said free parking, as it is located downtown. I double checked that there was free parking. We got there and we were charged 30 dollars to park for one night!!! I told the front desk it said free parking, she said " No free parking if you book through expdeia..I am so angry about this, I will never use expdeia again!!! Also probably never stay in a hotel downtown again..how ridiculous. Especially on a Sunday night, the hotel was empty and so was the parking ...
