After an exhausting 86-mile tow and two days waiting for a tire, we were hoping for a little comfort at The Perry Hotel, but unfortunately, it was nothing but more disappointment. The parking situation was an immediate hassle—self-serve parking in a city lot behind the hotel, costing an additional $25 per night. Not the warm welcome we were hoping for.

It gave the place an unsettling vibe, but we checked in without incident, only to be told later that evening our dogs hadn't been paid for.
