Overall the room was clean and service was good, however $39 per night to park and a $20 minimum for breakfast were unexpected excessive costs. An elevator was out of order as well which made timing difficult.

We had no issues with the hotel itself during our stay. Unfortunately when we woke up in the morning over 10 cars had been broken into including ours. Multiple items stolen from multiple vehicles. The hotel and valet staff didn’t do much to help. They put trash bags over the windows and told us to file a police report. That’s it. No help from the hotel or compensation for the damages/lost items. To top it off. This is not the first time this has happened here.
