It was great except for the parking. You had to remember to pay for parking, no designated parking spot for guests.l, unless you wanted to pay extra too for valet.

We really enjoyed our stay and staff made excellent recommendations for dinner and places to see. The bar offers fresh juice of local fruits in the lobby for all hours. Nice for Uber access and near the trolley pick up spot and Regent street which offers many food choices.
