Beautiful view, clean and great location. Parking is problem when a regular sized car does not fit rendering it impossible to get out of your car. I spent over $1000 for two nights (booked two rooms) and had to park on the street moving it every 2 hours so I didn’t get a fine…I probably wouldn’t stay here again because of this. The receptionist was nice and helpful after she finished reading whatever she was reading on her phone
