Nice, Clean but $15 more for parking at a Motel?

nice hotel. very clean, nice decor. the parking was right in front of our room, great. coffee and tea in the room were small but oh well. I did not appreciate having to pay $15 more for parking, at a MOTEL.

Very nice for 2-star hotel

Only stayed one short night. It had everything I needed from a 2-star hotel. Everything was great except the following. Pretty big gap under the door (noisy at times) and room can be peeked through the windows.
