Room was nice and clean. A little weird to not have a door to the shower area. Also, $30 parking fee seemed a little excessive.

Super great hotel specially if you’re visiting with a pet and it’s in a great location as well. The only think i didn’t like is the breakfast options are a tad too expensive.

The room was great, and the housekeepers did a good job! The front desk person who checked us in seemed to be having a bad day, which can happen, so we will give him a pass for being unwelcoming. Parking was very tight and confusing, but luckily, it wasn't jam-packed. Overall, it's a good and affordable place to stay.
