The room was clean and spacious. The hotel was perfectly located for our plans. We had zero issues, so it didnt bother us to know there's no staff on site, we actually really liked that part of it.

Incredible place. Beautiful lobby area. It was like staying in a home, and enjoying not only your room, but expanding time in the leaving room or in the very large balcony. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The parking is on the street or nearby public parking lot. I was lucky enough to get a free street spot right below my room (room 221.) The building is beautiful. This would be a comfortable room to stay for several days, if need be. There is plenty of common area in the hotel where one can read or work.
