The room was clean and comfortable. Parking was easy. The decor was vintage and reminded me of being a kid in the 1980s. I liked it.

The bathrooms were moldy and very old and outdated. A/C didn’t work. Room was musty and hot until evening breeze came in.

The room was average size but had a vaulted ceiling which made it feel much bigger. Parking was easy and there are chairs outside where you can sit and enjoy the trees. This was a good deal for the money. The office was a bit tricky to find though.
