The hotel itself was lovely. The restaurant and cafe were both great as well. My only issue was that there’s no real onsite parking. You have to park in a garage behind the hotel or in a different overflow parking garage a block away. It’s in a nice-ish area. But still super inconvenient and felt a little unsafe.

Crazy experience first the most of the parking was assigned to valet. Second they gave us a used room and when i went down the front desk she said if i could wait for them to clean it!!! I was like what! Then she came with the idea of upgrading to a bigger suit but will cost me $40. I told her what if i didnt expect to spend that extra money what should i do! She split the cost to 20 which its not cool because i shouldn't be dealing with dirty rooms. My girlfriend woke up with itching skin how would a nice hotel have bed bugs like that. Next time i would save my money and go to motel 6 better.
