5. The only negative things I can say is that 1) parking was very expensive ($50) but that is normal for downtown- I should have known better and found an off-site parking garage, but 2) I was so disappointed that there was no mini-bar in the room, no bottled water (even for a fee), no coffee machine in the room, and my husband thought for as much as the room was worth it should have a flat-screen (instead it had a old tube-television).
