I didn’t like that I had to talk to AI to try to get room service or any information. There was no life person to talk to very annoying.

Mediterranean Inn
Beds are very comfortable and the rooms and hotel are clean. The parking garage is the main reason we stay but love everything about this hotel. Wish they had continental breakfast.
