We got there and tried to park, but a.) there's a 6 foot limit for cars which is super short and b.) they didn't have any spots left anyway so had to find street parking and walk with all our luggage. The staff were fine, the rooms themselves were clean and nice, the hallways though were so scented I was choking and my nose was going crazy, too much perfume of fir smell.
