The property is located in an area out of the busier parts of TJ. Parking does fill up quick and there are a very limited amount of parking spaces underground in the building next door. If you don’t get one of those, you’re stuck out on the street. The rooms are VERY basic but are extremely clean. The staff I encountered at check in were very professional and helpful.
