Good property but a hike to upper floors with luggage with no elevator. The lamp of the desk/ coffee area did not work because the switch has broken off and was the same last time I stayed there a yea ago. No complementary water for the room.

Parking is difficult to find if you arrive late. We really recommend arriving early and finding a spot. The area is extremely walkable so not driving around is not an issue.
