Also allow dog/pet stay though charge for a whole week at a time so I used local rover.com for just one night.(would be good for those bringing an animal for university extended vet care). Lovely restaurant, again with nice folks both waitstaff and cooks. Well appointed place with lovely views, even in elevators as windowed, and decent safe parking. Mini refrig, two clothes hanging areas, I had double queen, best sleep I've had while on the road from out of state. Looks like a nice pool and workout area though I didnt ho see or try as didnt bring vlothes for these. Would come here again in a heartbeat. Just lovely."

I replied under $65 we could not believe how nice the room was and the bathroom was amazing.We will definitely be staying again as it seems most of our return flights land at night and i don't like driving in the dark.
