solid stay with a couple of minor issues

city viewhelpful staffconvenient locationsteep ramp
My room faced the city and offered water views. The room size was nice with a great ensuite. the staff were very helpful, polite, and. i found the location to be convenient with many amenities close by.
The ramp in the parking garage was steep, requiring me to look straight up at the ceiling when reaching the top. It was difficult to see oncoming vehicles! though i paid for the parking, the ramp was a concern.
