How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

Very nice park with large green for events like the Sunday Farmers' Market and concerts. The western end has lots of tables, benches, sculpture and a fountain.

This is such a great, versatile space - movies and live music on Saturdays, and a farmers market every Sunday! MCA does a fantastic job maintaining it.
