Quiet, clean and comfortable. The only thing I didn’t like was the cost for the parking. $30!!! I will be looking for another hotel that either includes parking or the price is lower. I thought it was ridiculous. Not sure how I missed this. Not happy about it either.

Overall nice stay

Broken sofa bed, had to change rooms. Moved to new room and blinds not working. Ended up staying anyway because we didn’t want to move again. Slight upgrade on room and comp for parking for inconvenience. Overall, really nice hotel and location.

The only thing that bothered me was the parking situation. The parking garage was underground and I felt the lighting was very poor and the signs directing you, where those staying at the hotel were suppose to park was not good at all. I ended up park in the ramps apartment parking section, couldn't find the purple door. Had to walk outside and then go back and put our vehicle in the right area so it wouldn't get towed.

The gentleman checking us in was sweet and kind. Our room was not what i booked. That’s Expedia’s fault, not the hotel. Parking was full so we walked a bit in the rain . Not too big of a deal but inconvenient.. again, staff was lovely.
