Hotel has very convenient, safe parking with an elevator directly to your floor. Room was very clean & smelled good upon arrival. The housekeeping each day was good. Our room was located on the 6th floor which also has an outside smoking area. Lots of dining options in the area. Its extremely easy to get around on foot & Waymo is always there. Great hotel.
