This hotel is centrally located, close to just about anything you wanna do in the city. Not to mention that Waymo comes by every five minutes. Hotel was clean, the staff were super friendly, parking was easy but a little on the expensive side. We really felt that we got a lot of bang for the buck. The hotel was affordable and provided everything we were looking for. I would recommend this hotel to our friends and family, and we are planning on coming back and staying again in September.

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. We were able to check in a little early which altered our whole vacation in a positive way. Room was tiny but clean and we had a nice view of the city. We didn’t use the pool we could see it from our room and it looked lovely. Our flight wasn’t until 8pm the day of check out so the front desk held our bags after we checked out. Over all a very pleasant experience and exceeded our expectations.
