Parking was not easy, do not miss that valet is $45 a night and not included in your stay. Our room was in the secondary building and right across from the large HVAC units, so that was rather loud. Overall it felt not worth the price.

A great place to stay for any reason!

Check-in easy. Front desk staff very clear and helpful. Safe place--need room key to go to your floor. Nice amenities, restaurant staff very friendly. Rooftop is a special place, and will bring us back if ever visiting family. Views are just as spectacular in the daytime as night time. Walking distance to 100 restaurants.
