3. downsides? I'd be leery about staying here in summer, as the buildings are older and do not have AC.

4. On the downside: parking costs 10$ extra and you might not always find a spot directly in front of your door.

"Expensive if regular price, great hotel if you get a special price! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 6/22/2009 Vote

5. Only downsides are that it would be nice to be able to get a coffee on site in the afternoon/evening and for the cost of the hotel you would of thought that parking should be free.

"Nice stay " Read full review on TripAdvisor 5/26/2009 Vote
