The hotel has added a parking charge. When we returned back after dinner, the entire parking lot is full and this is not a part of the town where there is any street parking within about a mile when we try to speak to someone at the hotel, there is no staff on site only a virtual assistant, and they had absolutely no solution

Pool was closed and I was charged additional fees on site. NONE of this was stated on Expidia. It feels like bait and switch. If I had known either of these things I would have made other arrangements.

Bare bones comfort. Rooms were quiet and comfortable but: Hard floors had no rugs. Walls had no decorations. The TV service was excellent. I was able to log in to YouTube with my own account. This made me feel right at home.

Room was clean, staff was friendly. There was no do not disturb sign so I figured they did not do housekeeping during stays. Turns out they do, I was pretty upset that someone was in my room without my knowledge.
