I loved everything about the hotel my only concern was that parking is $35 or you have to find parking that is far away.

Customer service not great with the manager on duty. This was a first as I frequent a lot. First time charged for parking and the fee takes away from the price. Not a good deal. Did not feel valued and a lot of amenities were missing.
