I really loved this hotel. It felt more like a family run place -- it was relatively small, it did not try to fit in the cookie cutter chains, and the staff was really warm and nice. I stayed there for several days, and by the end of my stay it felt like home. The location was great too, directly across from two parks. Check out the nearby Vietnamese restaurant, and thanks to the staff for being so responsive!
