Parking right in front of the hotel. Much cheaper than using a car park using the decals purchased from the front desk.

The rooms are comfortable and quite spacious. The rooms have windows you can open, overlooking the trees. High ceilings too!

Located on a lane overlooking a busier street, the room was quiet. Less traffic noise on the upper floors made for great rest.
