We just spent one night and had a great experience. Check in was fast and they gave us a goodie bag with 2 water bottle. Parking is extra $37 that you can pay at the hotel. Room was clean and ready and pretty quiet at night. They had a great breakfast with made-to-order omettlet station, hot tea, coffee, juice, hot menus (scrambled eggs, sausage, potatoes, oatmeal), cereal and fruits. It was a beautifully decorated property and we loved every single things while stayed. Recommend to everyone!
