I booked a "Two Queen Beds Room" online. Two Beds feature is critical for us when choosing hotel and room. However at checking in, the front desk said they (hotel or Expedia) over sold the two beds room but can only provide me One Bed Room, and add a folding bed in the room. The folding bed is horrible and the mattress quality is cheap and uncomfortable. At checking in, I insisted to get the room type I booked but could not get it. I checked online and found the one bed room is usually cheaper than the two beds room. However at checking out, they charged me more than online reservation.

Stayed in this hotel during very cold few winter days when the temperature dropped to negative degrees. Our room only had 2 cheapest thin blankets, which would only be suitable for summertime. The heater in the room only runs on high speed and makes terrible noise. So your only 2 options would be to freeze during the night or to have your sleep disrupted every time the heater turns on and off. Front desk failed to provide adequate blankets despite multiple inquiries. They promised to bring extra blankets (although, same thin ones) and end up only providing one. That’s for 3 people staying in the room. Refused to give out any extra due to ‘hotel policy’ or lack of blankets. Servicemen came and couldn’t fix the heater either. Astronomically expensive parking of $50 per night. You can park on a street nearby for free, but keep in mind there is 24 hour limit for any street parking. Vehicle storage fine of $25 applies if you leave your car on the same spot for over 24 hours. Beware of this before booking. Otherwise a decent place to stay with relatively good breakfasts.
