    Location is excellent… property was very clean with modern decor. It was difficult to even find a speck of dust on anything at all. We appreciated the nightstand next to each side of the bed, outlets, and mirrors/lighting. Parking was convenient and didn’t seem to be an issue to get something close to the room.
