Pulling up for valet was difficult as there was nobody there and no clear signs. Vehicles were blocking the entrance to the hotel. Hotel was great. Room was smaller than your typical hotel, but we did not spend much time in it. Shower was odd to turn on, but they sent someone up right away. Great overall property
