The parking charge of $40 a night for an open lot is ridiculous which increased my nightly cost by 25%. Will be staying somewhere else next time.

Everything was outstanding. From the valet to the room it was wonderful. Heads up and be prepared to spend 40 a day for valet. If not you’re going to try to find somewhere to park and good luck on that.
