The location of the property is ideal. The staff are lovely. The art in the lobby is awesome.

Some parts of the rooms are dated.

Reception a little slow and just a little offhand. No big deal

Very Clean, amazing big bath tub after a long trip. Great artwork on display. The location is fantastic

The parking situation. There was clearly a miscommunication and we believed it would only cost $30 in total to park our own car. Turns out the cost is $30 per night. We only found this out on check out.
