Room was very nice and clean and updated . We stayed in a building a block and a half away from main hotel . So there was a little walk to pool. But very close to the main State Sr. Lots of activity on the weekend but when balcony door was closed it was fairly quiet. Lots of places within walking distance . Covered parking for this building ( with what I guess is the going rate for the area for parking ?) When the sun finally came out, pool area was nice . The”pool bar” was a little shack selling canned drinks from 11-5. But it was fine . Was a pleasant stay
