super clean room spacious room modern amenities insecure parking open lot overnight concern

the location proved wonderful. the room was super clean and spacious. the amenities were modern and met my every need.

hotel parking was not what i expected. i found it to be an open lot across the street, not as secure as i hoped. this open parking space made me a little concerned about leaving my vehicle there overnight.
