"Everything was nice and the people at the front desk were very helpful and kind (I very much appreciated the snacks they gave for free when checking in). My only dislike was that the hotel key would not work after the day (but to be fair I was going through metal detectors, and it is possible that affected the key somehow). Overall, a very nice hotel that was cheaper than that of the city center. "

"Great staff, clean, decent breakfast. The parking was ridiculous. I received an email prior to check in that stated I could do self-parking. On arrival, there was only valet and they charge about $60, but $73 overnight!!! I already paid over $250 for the room, I don't feel like parking should've been extra. We found parking for much cheaper about 10-min away so it worked out. Still frustrating. The location was pretty central which was the best part. "
