Beautiful hotel in great location. Standard 2 queen room felt more roomy and airy than most hotel rooms. Beds are very comfortable. Staff were polite. Parking is pricey, but valet service was speedy even on what seemed to be a particularly busy weekend with several weddings, a football game and UC Parents weekend. Would definitely stay again.

I appreciated that location and easy access to the facility. The valet parking option was a wonderful option and appreciation the 24 hours service. The hotel staff was helpful and welcoming.
