So, if you just have one overnight bag, and want to take it up yourself, you get to park very far away from the hotel in the massive 5,000 space parking lot, walk through it, up an elevator, through the shops and restaurants, as well as the casino entrance, up an elevator to the second floor, to get to the hotel lobby. It turns out this was also the only self parking for hotel guests. Since I had been to the casino once before, I knew the casino self parking was on the backside of the complex, encompassed many levels, and was vast.
First, as others have mentioned, there are no signs directing hotel guests to hotel parking but more than one directing guests to the $45 valet service. Unfortunately, the compound and the hotel feature many odd peculiarities that add up to some head scratching and the strong feeling the owners' main goal is to take in a lot of money. The room was modern, clean, and sleek, and we loved the panoramic views. My husband wanted to indulge my occasional enjoyment of slot playing for a milestone birthday, so he planned an overnight in a high floor room overlooking the Potomac and the Washington monument in the distance.
