Good value accomodations

suite upgradefair pricesexpensive parking
I found a suite upgrade nice. I appreciated its fair prices at the restaurant. The Speakman showerhead worked really well. Water faucet ran at a trickle though, this did not spoil my stay.
The valet parking at the hotel was expensive. Calling ahead for my vehicle did not speed things up. I had to wait each time, this was inconvenient. I wish they were more organized.

Rooms

The room was a nice size, perfect for kids. The hotel has rooms in need of maintenance updates. Drawers were off their track, this was a small issue. The room benefitted from a Speakman showerhead, though.
