Bed was comfortable and room was clean. However the bathroom smelled like urine,even though it was clean. Had to keep the bathroom door closed so the room did not smell like urine. HVAC was good. No breakfast, not even coffee. The neighbors kept going in and out, not the hotels fault, but the doors are old and noisy.

It was walking distance to the concert we where going to. Along with I think that all hotels should have parking for their guest. Why should we have to pay for parking when we are already paying to stay at hotel just greedy for money.

This is a hidden gem. Actually across the street from the overflow parking lot. Follow the tracks. This is best as a morning shot... 8-9:30 a.m. Great textures and details on this piece. I spent an hour shooting it. The "AMERICAN" logo is classic. #Abandoned
