Must valet park for $40 or take your chances on street parking. Overall not as clean as we would like. Hotel is convenient for walking to area attractions but on the fringe of the nicer areas.

Our stay was great. It is near everything, shops and restaurants. My recommendation is to clean the windows on the ground floor for it to be more appealing, looking in and out. The parking fee of $40 /night is a little steep.
