Excellent one night stay
"My wife and I enjoyed our two night stay. Clean, comfortable room. Loved the location - easy walk to Town Plaza for shopping and dining. Outdoor room access - $10 parking reasonable. Only hiccup was for alarms went off multiple times the morning of departure. Luckily it was 10am and not sooner."
