They had a wield check in. The girl who checked us in was also mixing drinks at the attached bar. It made for a longer process than was necessary. I noticed later that more staff were present. The short term parking area was small and very busy. I drove around the block 3 times before getting a spot. I then had to pay $15/night to park in a parking garage. The room was very clean but small. You also had to put a towel on the floor to prevent the water from going all over the floor.

A reasonable express hotel. The free breakfast was good, top floor had good views, and top floor facilities such as the pool / fitness room / $2 laundry were much appreciated. WiFi issues were sorted quickly when asked. However, there was also some confusion from staff around the process for parking next door. Kept getting inconsistent responses on how to get our parking next door registered. But didn't get unduly ripped off here so okay in the end.
