We stayed at this hotel because it was near the graduation ceremony we attended. It was convenient to walk to and the underground parking was great! However I didn’t realize there was a $20 parking fee but you have to pay for parking no matter where you go downtown so it still worked out for us

Room good, parking bad

Convenient location. Clean. Breakfast options above average. Beds could be better for the cost. Parking should be included in the cost as they have their own structure. That last point deserves repeating: parking should be included in the cost of the room as the hotel has their own parking structure.
