Convenient to a lot of things and hotel felt very nice (well-decorated, etc). We were placed right across from the elevator (which I don’t understand a hotel having any rooms that close) and it was awful. There were people being loud and smoking weed, going up and down in the elevator from our floor and it was as if they were in our room - it was so loud. We didn’t sleep at all. We had to put a towel over the door crack to try and keep the marijuana smell from continuing to come into our room. Certainly ensured I’d never stay in a room near the elevator again, in any hotel (but most that I’ve stayed in don’t have rooms directly next to and across from the elevators - terrible design). Also the shower head is a rain shower head only - not good at all for people who don’t want their hair getting wet every shower. Overall, the hotel was nice but we personally wouldn’t stay here again.

If you are wanting to self-park good luck. They won’t tell you where the parking lot is at because they want you to pay for valet. The staff were all friendly and helpful. Room was clean and very comfortable. Go somewhere else for breakfast, there are please of places near by! the food available at the property is not good and overpriced!
