"While the property is conveniently located and overall staff was very accommodating we experienced an extremely poor interaction with the valet each day there. It is the only parking option for the hotel however it takes 20+ minutes to retrieve your vehicle and often times staff was on their phones and we would need to ask them about the status of our vehicle."
