Really a clean and quality hotel with increasibly friendly staff. The reason I gave it 3 stars are 1) parking is hard for easy transient parking (eg an hour) and 2) the market is really insane - $8 for a bottle of water or $6 for a soda. price gouging at its finest. there is no need for that and it is shameful.

We booked 3rooms for my cousins wedding in November, and we arrived around 3am after our check in date (much later time than we expected to arrive due to a hiccup on the road). Thus our reservation was automatically cancelled and charged as a no show. We were so worried and tired, but the hotel staff that helped us check in, was so helpful and reassured us everything will be ok. He was able to retrieve our reservations and check us in with no issues. Customer service was amazing. Rooms were clean and beautiful. Housekeeping was also so helpful with anything we needed.

Be prepared for hidden fees, also be prepared to complain about this and receive somewhat of a professional reply, they seem to care more about responsiveness to customer complaints but lack on making actual changes to these key issues like $30 a day to park on top of a $20 day amenities fee. One of the reasons i will not be returning.
