No valet parking
I was disappointed that valet parking wasn’t available. The cost to park in the garage was $15 a night instead of the $10 per night listed on my confirmation invoice. Check-in was good, Domonique, the bellhop was friendly, helpful, courteous and professional. Check-out presented a few challenges; The Front Desk was understaffed. I had to call a day later to request my receipt after being told that it would be emailed to me that same day. The view from the window in my room was spectacular! The room was comfortable and clean

The hotel is really run down. The bathroom was dirty and really run down. Like the sink hardware was peeling off, and the shower tile had mole. And the air conditioner didn’t work properly. The view from the room was incredible thought.
