The hotel was great - excellent rooms and amenities. The parking was confusing and I felt poorly explained, which ended up costing me time and money. Have a print out for your guests, or an email explaining the process. Verbal directions are hard to remember when you are checking in and trying to mentally handle several other things.

We were underwhelmed by the room. For the price, it wasn’t what we expected. The decor and size of the room were very generic. The best part of the stay was the awesome breakfast included with the room.
