Friendly check in, comfortable family sized room, all the necessary amenities, etc. Location is within walking distance to downtown. Would return again. Breakfast was underwhelming but again, for the cost, it was adequate As long as you aren’t expecting a big name brand level of room, it will suit your needs. Biggest “issue” was lack of WiFi reception in our room, but our room was on the far end of the complex so it is what it is.

The room was nice and met our needs. I didn't know there was a parking fee but, considering the # of tourists I can understand it. Also, we had to leave early due to a health issue so, I'm hoping the lady at the front desk follows through on refunding 2 nights of parking I paid for but ended up not using!
