The overall stay was great. But the parking was every dangerous. To go up or down, there was a VERY UNSAFE hill that you had to stop on in order to swipe your card. If you parked in the basement it was like being under a garage in a scary movie. If you parked up, the first row was on a slant and higher just was dark. There was alot of debris and large stacks taking up space. Its downtown, so there was no street parking, but i honestly feel like had it been, I would have felt safer.

Staff was friendly. The room was clean, quiet, had a mini fridge,and microwave. The bed was comfortable. The hotel shuttle was a great convenience.There were multiple times the room key did not work despite being re-magnitized or a new one issued. Disappointed the patio terrace was closed. Hotel website had dining amenity listed but was permanently closed. There was no mention of daily parking fee and daily $100.00 deposit on website. The parking garage needs better signage and was narrow.
