Very nice rooms and area. Everything good except hidden parking cost charged with no warning. Part problem with Travelocity, prepaid but the do not itemize the receipt. However the staff charged parking again with no warning or info prior. For a higher rate then offered through Travelocity. Called to question and was dismissed and told it would be looked into.

Great location, Good hotel

Room was huge and very nice. Bed was okay, pillows were blah, I need to start bringing my own, room was very clean, we asked for a room on the top floor away from the elevator and was put on the 2nd floor by the elevator, walls were very thin and you could hear doors shutting all night, people laughing and talking outside the room because we were by the elevator, kids running above us, but all and all it was a good stay. I would stay here again, but bring my own pillow and make sure I call in and make my request known about the location of the room I prefer.

I was very impressed with everything about the room and my stay. The breakfast was very well done. I was not able to stay the second night because of problems hat home. The lady at the desk was very helpful in getting the cancelation done. I am disappointed that I am not able to get a receipt so I can get reimbursement.
