Reserved a Deluxe queen. The beds were more like full size beds and had little space for luggage let alone you. The most outrageous flush of a toilet especially in the middle of the night.

Parking was a bit difficult to navigate. I had to scan a QR code, pay, then enter through a specific gate (right handed gate at all times, entering and exiting the parking garage). That being said, the parking garage doesn't appear to be owned or operated by the hotel and navigating that little experience didn't detract from our stay. The property is clean and well kept. The restaurant was really good (fish and chips were great) and the bar-tending staff was super pleasant. I would stay here again, for sure.
