I liked that the property was easy to find. The free parking is wonderful! We are walking distance to the concert venue, restaurants, and a Walgreens if needed. The staff was very friendly upon our arrival and our room was very clean and comfortable. We’ll be back some day!

The room was very spacious and clean. The bed was comfy, the water tasted fine, the staff were friendly, and my car was safe in the garage for a week. The location is also pretty great since it's near stuff and accessible to transit, including the cable cars.
