Loved the area. Morning and afternoon management were great. Overnight manager Karen called my room at 11pm at night and woke me up with a terrible attitude demanding I show her proof I paid for extra parking. The area was great lots to do and everything was within walking distance.

Comfortable bed , wonderful staff BUT, parking is very tight, and the ambient noise of cars racing down the street and the light rail station was not great. If you’re a light sleeper I wouldn’t recommend this place. Room was clean. Amenities were good.
