Everything was great but I only had 2 cons: no microwaves in the rooms and the valet parking. I was more unhappy with the valet parking as I parked my own car on my 2 night stay, I still had to pay for both nights and feel like the parking should be included in the hotel stay. $55 a night for a VERY small area and had to park my own car.

Nobody is answering the phone - there is no way to communicate with the hotel. They told us to park on the street but failed to tell us we cannot park ACROSS the street. So we got a ticket for $54.
