The hotel was fine although I do not like the refillable soap/shampoo/body wash, etc dispensers. It seems that someone could put something in them that they shouldn’t.
The main problem/issue was the parking. There was not enough and one of the evenings we circled the lot for 10 minutes looking for a spot. We had to parking in a garage of another hotel which was incredibly irritating.
