There was parking and a beautiful view from our room. It was a perfect stay and close proximity to coffee shops and restaurants. The staff were so helpful and welcoming. We also enjoyed the electric fireplace in the room. What a lovely touch. Our room was clean and had great amenities like a hot water kettle, coffee and a refrigerator.

Ana, thank you for everything at the front counter! The rooms are newly renovated with posh decor and nicely accented accessories. Another noticeable added touch, especially for the ladies are the spa essentials offerings high end body wash soaps, lotions, and makeup wipes, etc. It's the well thought out details for the reasonable price that gives it 5 stars. Great free parking, and not to mention a microwave and fridge! That's a winner for those budget friendly travelers eating leftovers or take-out from restaurant splurging:)

The property is in a great location. It is clean, updated, and well maintained, although it could use new in room air conditioners. Luckily that was fixed by opening our window but did come up with a little road noise fron Hwy 1. The bedding and linens were top notch and overall, we would definitely stay again!
