Fix the smoke alarm issue

The hotel was good with a drink reception, decent restaurant and great breakfast. The huge downfall was when the smoke alarm when off the first night while sleeping. It then went off the next evening and then a third time the second night.

We had enjoyed this property in the past so we wanted to stay again. It was convenient to our appointment during the stay. The free breakfast was very good. We were surprised being told at check in being charged $22 a night for parking in the attached parking deck of the building. We paid the $44 for our 2 nights but it would have been nice to know this ahead of time. We were not using Valet services and the Amenities stated: Parking Private parking is available on site (reservation is not needed) and costs $30 per day. Valet parking Parking garage Accessible parking We will probably stay again in the future.
