"The hotel was amazing. We had a great stay for the most part. I would def suggest not valet parking your vehicle as we waited over 30 mins at times dropping and picking it up. We ended up asking them to remove the valet and ended up parking our own car. It’s a short walk if you don’t mind self parking. ..."
