2. However, street metered parking is free after 6:00 p.m. on Fridays and through the weekend (if you can find a spot--we did luckily).

3. Of note: parking is $25 (we parked on the street for free); there is no ice machine (went to the bar); the restaurant was v nice, though somewhat expensive; liked the rooms and location very much.
