Could not find parking other than a very long line of cars waiting for valet ($50 plus tip). We parked on street behind hotel and walked all the way around with our luggage. For over $300 a night, i expect parking to be readily available. The manager was nice enough to waive their $23 hotel maintenance fee to offset my parking tab that the first clerk refused to validate. The room was clean but had non working window blinds, lamp and alarm clock. It would be nice it there was a vending machine in the lobby.
