Parking for the hotel was valet only. Smaller the vehicle the better-small SUV max sixze. I had a full size truck, which I was not comfortable with using valet service. Cost of valet was also pricey.Instead, a public parking garage was close enough (next door) to use, and almost 1/3 daily price of valet.

Property is nice but very overpriced for what it is. The best asset of the property is the location. There are so many hotels around the same price that offer better amenities. They also charge $55 for valet on top of a $600 room rate. Just not worth it.
