Many options to purchase food or go out to eat are within walking distance. The bed was horrible - it was time to be replaced. Extremely soft and you would roll into the middle of the bed. It was terrible. Both beds in our room were in this condition. Also, there needs to be better signage out front when parking to check in. The sign currently there states its for Uber or Lyft pickup or drop off. If one inadvertently goes in the driveway for the parking garage (which is a $30 per day charge) you cannot get in without a keycard. When trying to backup and park on the street, you will scrap and possibly damage the underneath of your vehicle due to the way the driveway was built unless you are able to a 3point turn. Very difficult!! More information regarding parking at this location needs to be communicated to those deciding to stay here
