The room is very large, spacious and quiet. We didn't spend much time in the room, but it would be a very comfortable space to relax and unwind. Parking is as expected for a populated metropolitan area- we never had to park more than a two or three blocks away and this includes coming back past 10pm every night. There is a park across the street with a farmer's market on Saturday mornings. The neighborhood is very active and safe, yet quiet at night. We have family that lives in the area and we would definitely stay here again.
