"Rooms were clean, staff helpful and location excellent. Two issues: 1) parking fee is a bit too high for guest $37.50 is a bit excessive for a retired person. 2) parking garage exit markings are poor. The markings were at the end of the row but the turn to get out in the middle has none. Neither on the roadway or the post. This was level P1"
