Overall we enjoied our stay. The only thing was parking. I paid $19.00 for parking but when it was time to leave the garage I was required to pay an additional $15.00. So I am not sure If I scanned my parking card incorrectly but that was the only issue. Overall We enjoyed our stay.

Hotel staff were very friendly and knowledgeable on dining. Streets in the city were beautiful and clean and parking in the garage was a breeze. Saturdays outside the hotel was an enormous farmers market which was a bonus! Only downside was the pool was closed for remodel when we stayed. Which there was a disclaimer about that before booking. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

The hot shower was not available when I checked in the room. It was unreasonable that I had to wait to use hot shower until 11PM. I wanted to get a refund from the hotel, but the receptionist were unwilling to solve the problem.

Getting to and from the parking garage is very inconvenient. You have to take 3 different elevators and walk quite a ways to get to your vehicle. Also they do not valet certain cars because of their value. I would think a more valuable car would be one you would want to valet. Other than that the hotel is great!
