Back for my second weekend in a row. Incredible views (especially from the second floor), comfy beds, and very conveniently located near TRU. Staff was all super friendly and helpful and the Nespresso machines are a plus. Flavors of India restaurant shares the same parking lot and has great food plus you get a discount as a guest here.
