Very friendly and helpful staff at check in/out. I appreciated the non skid mat in the shower, the toiletries, and a well lit mirror over the sink. I ate at Socalo next door and it was amazing - highly recommend. The parking fee was very reasonable for the area. I highly recommend staying her and will return if in the area again.
