Hotel was very nice, staff did as they should. Breakfast was good and had several attendants continuing to keep things fresh and full. Our only issue was the parking, we had to park on the street. Our van has a height limit, there were no spaces available were we could fit. They wanted to charge us $25 to park, but if we left and came back it was possible the spaces would be full and we would have paid and still had to park on the street. It's actually across the street where there's meters, the meters don't charge on weekends, but during week I guess we would have had to keep feeding meter. Hotel was very nice, obviously upgraded, everything very nice, quiet. Our room was very big, had a full refrigerator, stove top, microwave, dishes, ect. We only needed 1 night, but rate was very fair for the property. We will definitely keep it on our favorites and stay again

The pool was closed when we got there, but they offered us free parking instead to compensate for our disappointment. That’s nice. Breakfast was included but nothing special. The room itself was nice - we had a sitting area and full kitchen. We were rather disappointed to learn they do not clean your room during the stay.

Not too bad but could be better
I think parking should be free considering the condition and area available to park in; charging 23 a night for "Valet" parking that was not Valet at all is a little ridiculous to me. Also our toilet was not clean in our room there was strands of hair on it and some kind of stain on the seat which leads me to believe the bathroom as a whole was not cleaned properly all the way! Good thing I travel with clorox wipes and lysol but at the price that it is charged no guest should have to reclean their room. There was a spoon still stuck in the disposal we didn't know that until we ran water in the sink and it look like it was clogged up turned on the disposal and heard the rattling of the spoon. So my guess would be the room was cleaned about 60% but not a full 100. Also had a heavy smokey smell not sure if it was coming from below us or next door but smoke smell was pretty bad. Overall because of the friendliness of the staff and location to the event space I give it a C
