Newer hotel, clean. Very minimalist, not even a complimentary bottle of water in the room. $14 for a piece of toast for some breakfast though.

Nice hotel.
Checked in and paid for the garage parking under the hotel. Gave me a ticket and told me where to go. Went down there and there was nothing available and had to drive to the parking garage. They need to keep track of how many spots they have and gave out and save sometime for there guests.Also we had a room by the road so that was a little bit noisy. Otherwise room was great and clean and i would come back.
