The hotel shares parking, this was confusing at 1st but after a couple of trips in and out I was able to park with the elevator close by. The elevator needs better signage. Elevators need the word ELEVATOR painted on the outside back wall in bold letters

Good, but not premium.

Overall, our stay was really good. The staff at the front desk was exceptional. They were very helpful and made great dinner recommendations. Our only complaint is that we paid for a premium suite and the view from the bedroom was a first floor view of an alley with some old railroad tracks. After we had been in the room about 20 minutes, a van parked in the alley. From that point forward, our view was of the side of the van. The suite was fine and clean and fairly comfortable, but I don’t know that I would market it as a premium suite And charge a higher rate.

Our stay was nice, the room was comfortable and the staff was accommodating. The hotel is a little confusing to find and the elevator was not readily visible in the parking deck. There should probably be some verbiage on the site about locating the elevator. Other than that everything was great!
