Wonderful hotel and amazing staff. Downside is parking. Not much parking closed to entrance underground had to walk a while with luggage and kids. No in and out privileges. Checked in brought kids and luggage to my room went down to grab rest of things and i had already gotten a ticket. You pretty much have to pay as soon as you get there but with people with lots of lugging and kids its impossible. I was given an extremely unfair amount of time to pay for my parking. They need a better parking system.for guests

Liked: the room was large with a beautiful picture window. The bathroom was clean and spacious. The saltwater pool was warm and clean. The conference area was well maintained. Didn't like: there were stains on the arm chairs in my room. Less than a block away from the building, I felt unsafe walking alone (there would be people huddled together, staring at passers).

I felt like the staff was very unprofessional and not friendly at all. The lady the checkin desk and the manager on evening/night shift was very disrespectful. But that’s okay, I won’t be coming back there. They overcharged my card too and yet I got a refund. I see they took some charges off my card after I had gotten a refund. I was just over them so I let it go. I won’t be coming back there.
