10/10 Excellent

Enjoyed staying here. Everything was very clean and well maintained. The manager was super friendly and gave me good tips for sightseeing. The location is great, walking distance to Wholefoods, a few restaurants and the lake. The road might be noisy at times if you’re sensitive to traffic noise, I could barely hear it at night.
