"I got a bottle of Diet Coke from the vending machine, it didn’t show the price. It turned out to be $10 on my credit card transaction."

Uptown Inn by Vantaggio - Limited Service Apart-Hotel

8/10 Good

"Not a bad hotel, the area around it is iffy, but that’s to be expected since it’s Hillcrest. The hotel doesn’t have anywhere to park your car out front to check in real quick so be prepared to park a little ways away to check in then park your car in its garage. Also if you have a truck or big car in general don’t even think about parking your car in the garage because good luck if you choose to. All in all though it ain’t a bad hotel for the price."
