Great place to stay outside of OC!

It was a great place to stay out of the town of OC for a festival. You could walk there or take the Park N Ride bus shuttle over to the division street bus station. We would definitely stay here again. Only thing I wish they had in the room was a fridge and microwave, but we made it work. Thanks for having us.
