Parking was plentiful and not costly at all. A lot of greenery surrounding this hotel. Pool is amazing. Showers and faucets provide excellent water pressure. Everything is properly clean and sanitized daily. Great lobby for work or business activities, allowing for an environment where one can work peacefully.
