Be aware there is no parking of any kind at this hotel. There is self paid parking within walking distance but this was not very clear. Also, really wish there was a coffee pot in the room. Free bottled water in the room daily was nice, the bed was comfortable, loved the spa tub, restaurant and bar were great.

The property itself did not have parking so had to walk from the nearest parking lot. The carpet in multiple areas was ripped at the edges, the tv did not work we had to have someone come fix it. We could not control the heat in our room we had to call the front desk for them to change it. There was 1 lady at the front desk who just had an attitude everytime we had to speak to her. The body wash in the bathroom smelt rotten and was all over the bottle. Just not pleased at all. Will not recommend and will not come back
