By far the best property to stay at in the area for the money. Beds are super comfortable, the hotel is clean and very inviting. Only downfall is you have to pay for self parking, but considering what you make up for inside the hotel, it makes it worth it.

The lady that checked me in was amazing. The bell man had to take another guest somewhere and so when I checked in she went and got my bag herself. She also had my car retreived from Valet when I said no one had told me about the credit I would received if I self parked and she made that right by crediting the valet back to my account and changed it to self park.
