"This hotel is solid. Only issue which isn't big is the lack of check in space for a car and to drop bags/people. We parked across the street underground in the bus station lot which was fine. We were a party of 6 with teenagers and roller boards so not an issue. If you have youngsters and big luggage it might be a cancern. Other than that the place lives up to other reviews of the swank. The bar/restaurant is solid and many not staying at the hotel were coming in to eat so a good sign. ...
