The parking lot was under construction. So we had to walk to the hotel due to not enough parking spaces. I have also not received the deposit back yet from our stay.

I like the location. However, I couldn't park my car at the hotel parking lot due to construction, which created the inconvenience for guests parked their car across the street, with invisible signs that I couldn't see. I drove around in circles for couple time before I could park my car. I wish the the hotel should warn the guest on their website about the parking lot under the construction.

We stayed for an event at Wells Fargo, it is within easy ewaloing distance and also to a lot of great restaurants. The manager on duty was so nice, he said they were providing a shuttle to the event and I mentioned we wanted to go somewhere else first and he just said, “I’ll take you there, no problem” so nice and accommodating, every other employee was very nice as well. The property was clean and nicely decorated. The parking lot was being redone so we had to park across the street, but it was no problem at all. We will definitely stay again!
