It is a great hotel in a convenient location to art museum and other attractions. Park your car at the lot across the street and walk!!

Park Lane Suites and Inn
Parking was difficult, but it was at least quiet. I don’t think a lot of cleaning gets done because there were dirty socks in the room and panties hanging in the shower when we entered the room for the first time. Yikes.
