Thank you so much Tiff for the awesome 5⭐️ review! We’re so glad you had a great stay and found the location super convenient for exploring and getting to the convention center 😄 Happy to hear the parking pass made things even easier! You’re always welcome back anytime! 🌿🐯
We were attending a conference at the convention center which was minutes away walking so it was a very convenient alternative to hotels.One suggestion -- some lamps in the rooms.
