The room was clean. The staff was friendly. Parking was available but a little confusing. Evidently the parking garage is approached on a driveway that is used by other companies in the area. I was almost flattened by a pickup rushing the 'other way' on the driveway at about closing time on Friday. Not sure what can be done by that, except maybe asking those working in businesses close to the hotel to please go through this area slowly because people who are not really familiar with this entry to the parking garage are trying to find the parking garage entrance and not paying attention to those rushing in the opposite direction.
