So I’m being sour grapes probably because I drive a big truck for work and they shoved me in a corner in the back I could barely fit so I took up two parking spaces only to get woke up at 10 o’clock at night to be asked to scoot my truck over to one spot against a fence wich I could barely get out of in the morning at 6:30 when I had to leave

Yes, the property is older. The couple that runs the place have done a great job of making sure it is comfortable and clean. The flowers everywhere are wonderful. So, don't expect Marriott, however, for the convenience and price, you can't go wrong.
