Good place to stay. Affordable but no one told me about the haunting reputation. We didn’t experience anything but quite a rep. TV in the room was smaller than my monitor at work. Staff was professional. Parking is the worst part though. The hotel doesn’t have a parking and you gotta pay $60+ a day and there’s no going in and out. There is another parking but about a block down the street. Crazy.
