Solara Inn and Suites
Clean room. Had all you need including refrigerator and a coffee pot. Not very sound proof though so wouldn’t stay on first floor if you are a light sleeper because we could here every step and tv from above. FREE parking which is a huge plus. Mexican restaurant next door was really good ! Will stay ...
