Parking is not included. The description on the booking site, says parking available, which means they can charge you $15 a day for the parking. The front desk person says the owner decided to charge for parking. Really? Breakfast was really good during the stay. the two women that kept this up on the days we were there, did a great job of making everything taste and look good. Well done! Room wasn’t too bad, good size and everything was good and working. It was a little noisy since it’s right by the freeway, but not too bad.

Keep looking ...

The property was not very well maintained, and the corridors smelled bad. The room AC did not work well, but the room was comfortable. The front desk folks were nice. The location seemed a bit iffy from the safety perspective.
