Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Staff was very genuine and kind. My only feedback would be that I did not enjoy the shower, there was always a puddle of water outside of the shower no matter how far from the shower door I tried to aim the shower head. I loved the calm area and parking was really easy. I stayed Monday-Thursday and didn’t have trouble finding a spot. I would also recommend calling ahead of making your reservation because the host at the lobby mentioned that they offer a fourth night for free when you book three.
