Good location. Hotel is ok. Rooms are just ok. Bathroom shower sliding door would not close. No room service. Parking is weird. Must take two separate elevators to get to suites. Suite looks like a regular room very few amenities in room. There is a charge for parking on top of the already expensive room rates. I would not stay at this hotel again unless no other options available.

Hotel is close to shopping. Underground parking is nice but having to pay for it when the room price is expensive enough is not appreciated.
