Conveniently located

The room was very clean, modern, quiet, and comfortable. We enjoyed the premium local pastries for grab and go in the morning. Really appreciated an extremely helpful and accommodating front desk experience. Paid gated parking was a great value.

This was the perfect place to stay for my short work trip. It was extremely clean and felt very secure. The room was spacious and had a little desk where I could work. Even their simple breakfast coffee and pastry were perfect before I headed to work. I also greatly appreciated that they offered on-site parking, which was also secure. The only thing that was a little challenging was that there were limited options for places to eat around the immediate area. I walked to Chipotle, but for me, it was tough because of a hill.
