No self-parking available
If you bring a car, be prepared to rely on valet parking. Daily rates apply, and you'll find that they are quite expensive. You may find that you don't need a car, though, since there are plenty of activities within walking distance.

A few updates are needed
Overall, the hotel is in mint condition. However, guests have noted that few items, such as carpeting in certain areas, require replacement. Other minor issues, such as furnishings at the pool, have also been noted.
negative:
Noise can disrupt your stay
Noise from the street is a common complaint from past guests who stayed at this hotel. It has an excellent location, but is susceptible to some noise. As an older building, the walls are not totally soundproofed.
