The hotel itself is great! The parking can be bad if you have a low profile vehicle because the entrance/exit to the parking garage is very steep. We scraped the bottom of our vehicle pretty badly. But other than that, it was nice. The pool was great too.

This was a second time when we stayed in this hotel the first time was really excellent in 2021 but now for some reason after we stayed the first night the second night we found our room not cleaned and it was messy as we left with our kids in the morning so I loved the hotel and the staff but I want you to correct this kind of mistake.
