Limited parking options
If your vehicle doesn’t fit in the 6’8” parking structure for $40 per night, then there is only street parking if you are lucky enough to find it in this very busy downtown area.

This is a good property to stay at. The only problem is hotel parking should be free because the parking structure access is so narrow and it is hard to get out.

Questionable suds and irresponsible splatter
Nice place and good location but the parking is extra money, narrow and sketchy. If you order room service you need to go get it yourself from downstairs. The jacuzzi spa had some questionable suds and what looked like an irresponsible splatter near it as well that was unsightly. After spending some time there, we noticed there was a lingering mildew smell on our swimwear and skin as well. So mixed stay.
