Rooms were large with a kitchen. Travelocity said I would receive a king bed. Then they updated it to a queen or king bed and my room only had a full bed. It was defined not a queen.

The hotel was beautiful, clean and very accommodating. They have their own restaurant and the food was very good. The offer things that we had no idea would be there,hair salon, massage, mani and pedi services. The parking was a bit challenging though. They also charge a fee of $18 per night's stay for parking and there is no parking on the street without first going to the city government to register your vehicle in order to park on the street side otherwise they would tow your vehicle away.
