If you like food you're in luck. The new Sous Chef is very talented. I had two of his creations, the chicken wings and a daily special penne pasta. The chicken wings were orangy, and truly the best I've ever had. The Penne pasta was also excellent. Breakfast was better than the usual hotel fare.

Overall the hotel was great. Nice staff, clean room, great location. They have a large pitcher of ice water on the floor with lemons outside the elevator, fresh fruit bowl, too.

I tried to find parking on the street and it was impossible. The valet guys are very prompt and friendly. I always had my car waiting when I called ahead. Worth the price, for sure.

Booked on priceline and stayed for one night over the weekend. The valet service as prviously noted by other reviewers does seem a bit out of sorts at $18/day. If street parking is available I would recommend that route. We had a very spacious corner king room, but there were a few things that reflected how dated the hotel is with the need for room renovations. We had red stains on the comforter of our bed, dark stains on the carpeting, a stained lamp shade in the corner of the room, and a worn chair that fabric was shedding off of...not exactly the grandest of first impressions. But for one night we weren't going to complain. The staff was courteous and helpful and all in all it was a decent stay.

We stayed here for 2 nights and booked off of priceline. For the amount we paid, the stay was a great value. Valet parking was a bit pricey but we were able to find street parking for most of our stay during the weekend.

Pros: Great service, famous cookies (!), complimentary shuttle service within a 3 mile radius until 9pm (this was a huge convenience)
Room for Improvement: I think the hotel is a little bit older which is reflected in the decor. Rooms were a bit outdated, but had everything we needed and the service definitely made up for this fact!
