8/10 Good
"The Cafe is closed since Covif, although they offer coffee & tea. The front desk directed my to their parking garage which was incotrect, parking is half a block away and uphill to get to it, and it's $65.00 a day to park. When I was at the front desk this morning a mouse ran all the way across the lobby floor to where the cafe used to be."
