We were very happy with our stay here. We drove from out of town and it was a little confusing where the parking was. It is on the same block but on the other side. Bring your ticket to the desk for validation to save $10. Our room was very clean and the hotel had all amenities we would expect. The hotel was very, very quiet! We so appreciated that we did not hear any noise outside on the street below and minimal noise in the hallway. Very well built.

Facilities were okay. Breakfast was decent. Parking however is a big problem. Hotel did sent one email about the parking but as I was visiting during the weekend assumed I will get outside parking. There was no open parking available so had to park in the reserved parking with parking fees.
