The free valet parking was acceptable. It saved the hassle of finding a spot.
The room decor seemed tired. It definitely showed its age. also, there wasn't a map available showing local sites. I found that odd. a waitress seemed unhelpful and made an error with my soup. I almost ate meat without realizing it.
