Staff were super friendly and very helpful. Room was great, even though the shower needed a good scrub and some moulding was missing from around the shower, it was still very nice, the water pressure was FANTASTIC! There is no parking, but there is a valet. Don't really need your car, everything is walkable, or you can catch the Trolley. Can't wait to come back!
