I was pleasantly surprised by the location. Closer to lots of things to do. The room was spacious with a good sized fridge and microwave. This was great especially with Trader Joe’s across the street. The breakfast was as expected and plentiful. I’d would recommend this hotel for those who are price conscious as it’s a great value for the price. I’d stay here again.
