They rooms and are always prestige and the pillows are my favorite part. A huge plush for me is all the dove products they have so I feel like I can actually get a good shower. This holiday has difficult parking situation due to being downtown but other than that it was just as awesome as all the other holiday plinks which are my favorite.

My granddaughters love staying here. They love the breakfast and the pool. The staff is very friendly. The only reason for 4 stars on a couple of things is the parking. Not the most convenient and you have to pay. That part really stinks
