"The hotel itself is a bit dated, but the room condition was acceptable. However, on the day we checked in, we found that the trash from the previous guest hadn't been emptied, and some of their belongings were still in the room. The hotel charges an additional $25 for parking, but street parking is free after 6 PM. The complimentary breakfast had very limited options and the food was quite salty."
