The area had some nice restaurants and stores within walking distance, some even across the street. Parking was behind the hotel at a public parking garage, there was not a attached enclosed walkway,nor is there a back entry until you have a key card. So I would suggest one person get out at the entrance and get a key and one go park The car and meet in the back. Not to bad unless the weather is bad.

This is an ideal location for visiting UC. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. I’d recommend requesting a lower floor (elevators can be slow during peak hours) so you can take the stairs. I’d also recommend not having street view as it is a college town and can be loud. The view of the little alley isn’t very scenic but is quiet

Very clean and friendly!

Seems very new and incredibly clean. My only issue was confusion on parking upon arrival. If you park in the attached garage marked for Target shoppers, you can go to Level 2 to find spots not saved for Target. Then the hotel can validate your parking ticket. It costs $15 for one exit or $18 for unlimited exits. My room was perfect and the breakfast was good.
