Parking was not great, but luckily there is street parking - be mindful of the time though. The AC works well but doesn't stay on long because the thermostat is so close to the unit. So when the AC was off, the room was always too warm. Great location though!

Standard motel

We wanted a family weekend at the aquarium! We were on the ground floor and motorcycles revved their engines every morning and afternoon. The front desk was nice. The bathroom was super small. If you are paying $150, great price and place. We were not paying $150 and will likely not go back.
