10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was conveniently, located in our room was spotless and comfortable. Staff was helpful and courteous. We had a little bit of trouble with parking because there was not a lot of information on parking availability on the website. Valet was pretty backed up when we got there, but after we drove around for a bit, we discovered that there is a secure parking deck about a block away. Much cheaper than paying for street parking also."
