The bed was not your average hotel bed,very comfortable with bedding that was soft. Bottles of shampoo and conditioner and body wash are great quality. Towels very soft. The only bad thing about this hotel is the parking valet is NOT optional 25.00 a night. Should be put on booking sites that parking fee applies

The property was nice but there was an issue getting us the room we reserved and paid for. It is unclear if the error was Expedia or the hotel but disappointing. The front desk was helpful and provided a breakfast coupon as a courtesy. One other issue is the hotel restaurant said it was open until 11pm but the kitchen closes At 9pm. Please update your materials to reflect the opening hours for Food service
