Beautiful hotel with very friendly helpful staff. The bed was very comfortable. The only thing I didn't like is that you either have to valet park your car or go across the street and use the paid public parking structure. I prefer not to valet park my car but didn't really like the other option. This left me without my preferred freedom when it came to using my car. I like the snack and fresh breakfast items available at the front desk but would have liked a little more variety. Overall, very nice hotel and staff.
