Lots of parking. And the staff was excellent. Only issue I had was someone went into my room while I was gone and put a closed bottle water on top of the tv stand. And I had the do not disturb sign hanging outside. I informed the manager and he said he would look at the video BUT I have not heard from them at all. After this incident I did not sleep at all. I was scared of someone coming in my room again. Luckily I checked out the next day.
