9/10 Wonderful! (1,050 reviews)
All good. Wish the common areas were a bit more up leveled (they are very sparse, carpet is poor). In the room, the bathroom slider door lends itself to being a petri-dish based on having hands all over the door to make it open/close.

Unsure if the property was welcoming to pets, but parking was convenient even though it’s paid parking. The hotel offers a nightly parking pass for $25 which is still somewhat reasonable. In a very cute and fun area with lots of great food nearby and plenty to do.
