A Solid Stay

good valetwelcome drinksmall menuparking price
The room was quite nice, I really liked the selection of teas provided. I also thought the valet service was good, they were very helpful with our luggage. The staff were really friendly at check-in. I really appreciated the welcome drink, what a way to start!
I thought that the breakfast menu was very small. If breakfast is included, you can only choose one dish and one drink. I think that $40 is a ridiculous price for parking each night. I feel that it should be included, particularly when you can park on the street for free at certain times.
