no charm
$25 for parking in a Motel with a big empty lot - no way. The hotel was less than 20% full and they put a family with screaming children who bounced between the beds and walls all night right over us. Recently renvated so now its like a cheap white hospital room. No comforter, only a gross old fleece blanket. The teeny friege was placed in a cabinet made for a medium fridge and it didnt even fit a bottle of champagne standing up in it.
