We loved our stay here. The check in process was smooth and they took the time to explain to us everything that we needed to know. Parking is paid but right under ground. Rooms were nice and well equipped for a downtown hotel. Beds were nice and wifi actually worked as we needed to work from there. Will recommend and definitely will visit again!
