poorly stocked bar parking charges
The bar situation was grim (i mean, seriously lacking). two beers were out, and the fridges looked half-empty. The snack stand was always bare, too. plus, they now charge for parking, and the signs are plastered everywhere. it just looks cheap for a hotel needing some love. dinner was a letdown, but at least they refunded my wife's meal. Still, not the highlight of the stay by any means.
