9/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)
We enjoyed our stay as the location is very good and central. The suites are very nicely designed but are getting a little rough in a few areas.
The maid service was very good.
$60 a night for parking is ridiculous. There is enough meat in the daily rate. Most people would not be driving, so something more in line with appreciating their customers who have rented a stay at the hotel.
