Great location - but no parking…
Pros:

The location couldn’t be better! Just the overall aesthetic and amenities were appreciated!

Cons:

The beds were a little uncomfortable (two beds pushed together to make a king), and at times the customer service could’ve been better. We had also originally asked about parking and informed that they had parking available, to only be told this is no longer the case when we arrived.
