This is a good hotel in a great location to everything but it has terrible parking options and has even worse surrounding scenery and is majorly over priced. We chose this hotel for a romantic get away but never again. Building, rooms and staff were nice but the surroundings and street noise were a big turn off. For almost a $500 a night this was a major joke.

Had a handicapped assessable. There wasn’t a pull down bench in the shower. The A/C unit was very loud. Plunked each time it came on. Staff was great but had problems with the computer program during check in and again on check out. Do not get a room on the street side. Traffic is very loud.
