Great hotel! It’s such an easy check in and out. The valet parking is so convenient and the restaurant and bar are really nice. The rooms are clean and the beds are so comfortable. The rooms have everything you need for your stay. This is the second time I’ve stayed and I was traveling alone. As a female traveling alone I knew this is where I would feel the safest. I will definitely stay here again.
