convenient LOCATION with great service

mass transitwalking distancemini marketparking prices
I liked its proximity to mass transit because it was just a block away. The hotel is also within walking distance to the mall, downtown center, and easily accessible when driving. Staffs were great and the facilities, including the pool and mini market, were great to use. I love the cleanliness.
I didn't like that you must pay for parking each day. It seems expensive and it should be free or have cheaper rates.
