The hotel was nice. Parking was $45 additional per night. The parking garage is in the basement below the hotel and is very tight. I’d recommend a small vehicle if you’re going to park here. Breakfast was okay. Scrambled eggs, bacon, and potatoes with sour cream, salsa, and hot sauce available were the choices for hot breakfast during my 4 night stay.

Cute hotel in great location. Not really a "work" hotel, no desk in the room and no gym on premise. The hotel provides a pass to a CAC gym a few blocks away.
