It was our first time staying here and the virtual checkin was different but it was quick and easy. I have never had to pay extra for parking but i would stay here again.

Clean hotel with great service. The only downsides to this property is that the $150 deposit wasn’t disclosed until after I already booked and prepaid for the room & the parking is $40 a night (in a garage that’s across the street). Other than that, this is a great place to spend a night or two.
