"The free breakfast was fantastic. The check in staff very friendly but what set this stay up to be a great experience was the parking valet. We didn’t catch his name but we had many wonderful conversations with him. We took Ubers around the city so we didn’t need parking but that didn’t seem to matter. His personality shined through. The bartender at Latitudes was a doll and we enjoyed her service. We definitely recommend this hotel!"
