Great valet - although for $40/day it should be. Clean room each day. We had a bunch of kids during our stay who were super loud and slamming doors - but thankfully they settled down by 11:00pm. Breakfast could be a bit better - super basic.

Only issue with our stay was the parking. They should be more transparent and say you’ll have to use valet for $40 per night because the lot we will tell you to use across the street is never open and the street parking never changes and there’s massive snowbanks causing some spots to be unusable. We were inconvenienced driving around for 20 minutes trying to find some street parking in an area we are not familiar with just to have to be forced to pay for valet we didn’t want. If we knew this would be an issue we would have booked elsewhere with an actual parking lot.
