False Advertising
The people at the front desk were hospitable and friendly. They provided a refund of our parking like they said they would since we didn't stay the second night.
The room didn't really look like the pictures, the bed was not very comfortable, the rooms next to us were loud, and we didn't feel we should have to pay for parking.

We were celebrating our 40th anniversary having stayed at an earlier incarnation of the hotel on our wedding night. We found the stay to be friendly and very helpful.

Nice for a night
We needed an overnight stay for a wedding. The check in was easy, the room extremely clean. We only stayed the one night but the beds were comfortable. The tv worked fine and check out was easy least. I would definitely stay here again

Decent location, not great ammentities
Decent hotel for one night stay located in a good location near the park. Ran out of food at breakfast so don't count on that when booking. Gym was limited. Room was comfortable but felt not super clean
