Ok

Overnight for a wedding party room was nice everything on the property is pretty much new the parking garage was small and tight and extra $30 a day not impressed with that check in went well but you must have a room key to access parking garage and limited parking to do so was a pain. You must have a room key to get the elevator to move probably good for security but a bit of a pain otherwise room was nice comfortable bed good tv nice bathroom and shower there is a nice bar / restaurant on the property and the surrounding area is interesting
