Beds were comfy and 2 doubl bed room seemed like 2 Queens. Bathroom a bit cramped but modern. Parking a mess, have to go to public garage and walk uphill 1/4 mile or so…Because of construction at property and the location, difficult to even drop bags. This place needs a valet badly. The onsite “bar” was like w cafeteria bu plenty of options nearby.

They should improve their service .

The first night because our flight was delayed,they just gave us a standard room to stay and there was no view .it’s totally different from what I saw from the pictures when I booked the room . This made us very unhappy, even though they changed the room for us next day, but I still want to complain that they should hold a room with a view for us since we paid the money is not the cheapest one.
This is the view from our window!
