I've stayed at this property a number of times over the years. On my most recent stay upon parking, I noticed the parking lot is now populated with signs demanding that you download an app and pay for parking online. This, on a property that advertises free parking. Luckily, I did not follow the signs, and inside the front desk person told me I could ignore the signs because the pay-for-parking system was not set up yet. Good thing, because the parking lot is small for the property, nearly full on late arrival, and has extremely tight spaces if you drive an SUV or the like. All parking is on the side of the building, and a long walk to the door. I'm sure there are some local building codes that forced the design of the building/parking layout, or maybe it's just profit motive squeezing this hotel into a too-small area, but it's certainly not user friendly. Coming from the interstate, you have to make a U-turn on a heavily trafficked road in order to reach this parking lot. Possibly just inconvenient, but at times, dangerous. They should probably buy the EconoLodge next door and tear it down to provide a decent entrance and enough parking. Other than that, it's a typical Home2 Suites with nice large rooms and comfortable beds. The breakfast was fine and well stocked. Staff was accommodating of my rant when I told them the day they charge for parking (in Salisbury by the interstate, mind you), will be the day I choose the EconoLodge instead. If you're not going to implement the system, would it cost that much to cover or tear down the signs? Bad PR, cheap solution.
