I was able to park my car in the garage before checking in since I was in town too early for checking in. I didn’t like that we had to check out by noon. If so, then we should be able to check in around 1pm. The ladies and gentlemen at the reception were very nice. Breakfast was good.

Staff was very helpful. We had to drive around the block a few times to find a place to park. Then we had to walk around the block to check in, then walk back to our vehicle. Had to walk back around with our luggage. Once we could enter the parking garage it was convenient.
