Fantastic City Stay!
really good servicefriendly voicenice stayparking fee
Jon at the front desk delivered really good service even before I arrived, he answered all my questions with a friendly voice. Upon arrival, Jon continued to show his class act in every aspect! D, another staff member, HELPED.
The only real downside was the hefty parking fee each night! Paying $50 a night for the parking garage next door felt a little STEEP.
