9/10 Wonderful! (1,001 reviews)
This property is modern, super comfortable, restaurant bar - it can be a conference hotel or a family vacation. Parking, valet, layout is all so efficient, convenient and the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. Online check in and room highlight guest safety and security. Nice lobby bar that can be as business-like or as casual as guests make it. Great stay.

9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,094 reviews)
Room was very nice! Especially the bathroom and shower. Received conflicting info on parking between the front desk and valet. Valet explained the parking ramp is $2/hr but didn’t say there is a $10 limit. Might have made a difference on where we parked.
