We had a great time, the Hotel is really beautiful. Loved the decorations and the vibe of the bar. However, when I checked in, I was not happy to learn parking was 70 per day, plus 35 amenities, and a 375.00 deposit for the room. The high price for parking and 35.00 extra a day for amenities? It was money I did not plan on spending. I feel those fees are very high and should be included when booking the room, and parking should not have an amenities charge attached when paying 70.00 a day.

The rooms were kinda small but very clean and beds were comfortable! Having the free Starbucks coffee was nice and the staff was friendly. The area is not great but, better if you are looking to go out to bars etc.. The staff was nice about bringing luggage down and up to your room! Overall it was a great stay for a short weekend!
