Check in very easy and room very nice. Parking was horrible. We were two women in the 70's and returned from a play at the University around 11 pm. Road around the parking area numerous times and never found a spot in parking area. Then was charged $23 taxes for parking. Will not stay there again. So many quests were having the same problem.

The staff was amazing and property was very well maintained. Everything was in walking distance. Breakfast was great, but the servicing of the room could have been better. Other than that the stay was amazing. Thank you!
