All the features of this property that cause it to be poorly valued are "add-on" features like facial tissue, mircowave, shampoo, hair dryer, continental breakfast (all missing). But the essential things like flooring (wood, not carpeting), decorations, finish and cleanliness, parking, pool, bed comfort, furniture convenience, TV access, neighborhood shopping and restaurant quality -- those things were outstanding. Whole Foods is just 2-3 blocks away, as well as several fine dining and casual restaurants. Check out Rudy's and La Unica for casual Mexican, Tee Off for reasonable fine dining.

Yall need to be better I tracking vehicles parked there I got stuck in the parking lot loop twice due to people parking oversized vehicles. 1000% sure it would not meet fire code. If my suv couldn’t fit through it no way a fire truck would. I almost missed my flight.

24 hours of daylight

The room was clean and updated but the outside lights were ridiculously bright and right outside the window. At all hours of the night it felt as if the sun was up even with the curtains drawn. This might not have beens so noticeable on the first floor, but definitely don’t request the second floor. Other than that the stay was fine for a budget room.
