Had to pay for over priced parking. The only good thing was it was clean. I didn’t get my complementary wine. It was noisy so you hear the train in the mornings and lots of sirens. There valet is 42 dollars and the parking on the side is 30 dollars

NOT SOUNDPROOF. THE CLEANERS WERE ALWAYS LOUD, banging on their equipment doors that affect their guests early in the morning. The street noise wasn'tthat bad but because if the. At nightI was there waiting for my passport to fly out. I could have rebooked while waiting, but I had to check out for my sanity.

The hotel staff was extremely friendly and very helpful, thank you Jonathan. Check-in was smooth and quick. Our room was comfortable. We only stayed one night. But the hotel was the perfect location for what we needed. We got there too late for the vallet parking, but there was a parking garage that was secure around the corner, which worked out perfect.
