The staff was incredibly nice, the rooms could benefit from an update. Unfortunately he sink wouldn't drain and then they are require valet for parking but they don't tell you that it takes up to 30 minutes to retrieve your car because it's not parked on site.

$40 valet was the only parking option available. Horribly noisy during the day due to construction inside the building. My room was clean and the staff were pleasant. No complimentary breakfast. It was ok but way too expensive for what you get.
