1st, plenty of parking. Rooms are comfortable and spacious. The inner court is very tranquil. The only downside is in the H bldg, the rooms are noisy. We could hear the people upstairs every step in their room. Next door in the morning you can hear the housekeeping in the rooms next to you. Enough noise to wake me at times. All in all, I will stay again. Just in a different room this time.
