Top Strategic Tips

  • 01

    Request a room on a lower floor if stairs are a concern; there is no elevator and upper-floor rooms require multiple flights.

  • 02

    Arrive with a backup parking plan; the free lot is limited and fills during busy periods, making metered street parking the alternative until a space clears.

  • 03

    Bring your own hairdryer and toilitries; rooms do not supply hair dryers or coffee pots.

  • 04

    Reserve the apartment room type if you need a full kitchen for longer stays.
