The downside first: Even though the hotel has ample parking space, it doesn t allow free parking for guests. So, if you are bringing/renting a car, you would have to pay 45$ + TAX + whatever you choose to tip for the mandatory valet service to park your car in the hotel compound or use a nearby parking lot for 35$ and walk back. They also have hourly rates.
The issue is nobody wants a valet service to park their car 3-4 yards away. This isn t a downtown hotel, so the valet service is really unnecessary or at least it should have been optional. Most of all it should have been well explained on the website or during the phone call we had upon booking. Otherwise being told at check-in late in the afternoon, at which point we were too exhausted to do anything about it, felt like a gotcha moment which forced us to pay additional fee to park our car.
The hotel is nice and updated we got a specious room and comfortable bed, but we had the duvet changed because it had small stains. It has a Starbucks, a cozy pool and Jacuzzi area and a lively bar with a good service. The location is very close to the airport which is ideal if you are transiting overnight but might feel far for shopping and the like. Since we rented a car, the location was not a deal breaker for us.
I would stay here again if I'm not renting a car.
