I really think its horrible that I had to pay almost $40 a day after taxes and fees for valet parking. Park yourself was not that much of a savings. If you are staying as a guest, parking should be included.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
The lobby is modern, and we loved all the natural greener. It gives the space a calming, nature inspired vibe. The restaurant on the lobby level was better than we expected. We were really happy with our dinner after a long day, and it was great not having to go out. The downside: we were given a street-level, street-facing room. We could hear busy traffic and people talking all night long. The sound insulation was terrible. For over $400 per night, this is definitely not acceptable.
