Our room didn’t have lights? Only lamps, which made it quite hard to see. Otherwise, everything was as expected.

Older hotel, but clean. Double beds in separate rooms.
Valet parking not available. Felt scammed. Had to take car behind hotel to parking lot and then attendant moved car to garage. Still paid as though valet $60/day.
