"Overall the stay was great everyone was extremely friendly and helpful even the secuirty gaurds. Veiw from the room/balcony is amazing, i stayed on the 7th floor. Only minor thing i didnt like was that parking was across the street. Not a big deal at all for us we didnt use our car as everything we did was within walking distance. Crossing the street here though was very easy they have a crosswalk right there with no wait time. They do have a vallet service for 5 more dollars than self parking....
