Loved this hotel and would certainly stay again. Room was very clean and comfortable. Nice bar and restaurant on the first floor. I didn't experience it myself as I rode with someone and he dropped me off while he parked, but he did note the parking garage wasn't the easiest to deal with. Again, I didn't see the issue for myself but wanted to note it. Otherwise, everything was perfect.

Great Hotel, Parking is a Scam!!

Hotel accommodations couldn’t have been better. MAJOR SPOILER was the parking. Nobody can give real answer to best way to park. Convinced me I need overpriced day pass to self park my Car. Didn’t explain 24 hours starts once you sign up for pass which isn’t needed to be done until you leave the garage. End of day paid $52 plus late charge to leave the garage. Nobody at hotel can assist and pass buck to valet who then pass buck to parking garage who you can’t get in touch with a human. Again great hotel for reasonable rate but parking makes up for the low rate.

We had an amazing trip. Staff was excellent, professional and courteous. The only downside was upon check-in. We were told that a welcome gift would be sent up to the room, but unfortunately that did not ever happen. This didn't deter or prevent us from having a great time and enjoying the services offered at the hotel
