We felt completely ripped off at the end of our stay. Paid 75$ per day valet parking and then 10$ per day tax on the parking fee was added. Almost $100 added for amenities. When I asked what the amenities were, it was described as access to parking, and the $15 per day discount off restaurant. This is neither logical nor was any of the additional charge described up front. Absolute joke.

Location Great, Cleanliness Lacking

The hotel's location is fantastic for sightseeing, with easy access to attractions and restaurants. However, the cleanliness and comfort didn't quite match the price point. A bit disappointing in that regard.
