I just want to start by saying THANK YOU for getting rid of the carpet in the hotel rooms!…read moreSeriously, more hotels need to get on board with this. Carpet in hotel rooms is absolutely disgusting, and I will always appreciate a hotel that chooses hard flooring instead.
Our room was very spacious, including the bathroom, and everything felt clean and well-maintained. The room was also nice and quiet, which is always a huge plus when you're trying to relax and enjoy a weekend getaway.
One of the highlights of this hotel is the rooftop restaurant. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and the views are fantastic! There are plenty of seating options, including covered areas for shade and open areas where you can enjoy the sunshine. They have chairs and couches, making it a great place to hang out and unwind. We even had live music on Sunday morning during brunch, which made the experience that much better. They also offer indoor seating with a full bar, so there's something for everyone regardless of the weather.
The hotel is beautiful, well-kept, and dog-friendly. Just keep in mind that there is a pet fee unless your dog qualifies as a service animal. We appreciated being able to travel with our pup!
On the first floor, there's also a little café where I ordered coffee on our first morning. Unfortunately, the coffee was not good at all. In my opinion, I would skip this unless maybe you're getting one of those fancy coffees that have a cup of sugar in it.
The staff we encountered were accommodating, and overall, we had a very pleasant stay.
Now, let's talk about the one thing that REALLY irritated me: PARKING.
Parking is valet-only, which I understand can be expected when you're staying downtown. However, I will NEVER understand why hotels continue charging guests $40-plus per day to park their cars.
I'm already paying to stay at your hotel, along with all the associated fees, and now I have to pay an additional fortune just to park my own vehicle? Make it make sense!
These parking fees feel excessive, and honestly, it leaves a bad taste in my mouth when everything else about the stay was so enjoyable. Stop being greedy. We're already tipping the valet guy, you make millions a year give us a break.
My recommendation: Stay here for the comfortable rooms, rooftop dining, and downtown location, but be prepared for the additional parking expense. Between the valet-only setup and the $40-plus daily charge, that was easily my biggest complaint.
It's a shame that such a lovely hotel experience has to come with a parking bill that feels so excessive! This is typical these days. I remember when it was first a resort fee that they started adding now it's a parking fee.
