Easy parking though if you have a large SUV, it might be a tight fit. Great location to several eating options and DPAC. Quirky motel style hotel. We stayed on the pool floor and it was Igloo season and music was playing. Staff was friendly and helpful. The beds were comfortable as were the pillows, we slept well. We’d definitely stay there again.
