Very nice room. Good breakfast options. Very efficient and friendly staff. Horrible parking lot with insufficient guest parking capacity! We got back to the hotel late following an event. Had to park outside on a street almost a block away. And it was raining. Build a parking ramp for your guests cars. The stay was otherwise great.
