All was good - but for the false advertisement of parking being included in the rate which we paid through Kayak. The hotel management insisted we pay an additional $64, although I had the Kayak payment receipt for the 2 day stay, which clearly stated parking was incuded.

Pros (+) We travel by train and it was close to the train station and several very nice restaurants.
Cons (-) We were told on the phone that the restaurant was open but when we got there we found out it was not. They also have disabled the guest computers for printing out boarding passes because of health concerns, but will print them at the front desk for you.
