La Casa Inn rooms include a refrigerator and cable TV. The rooms also feature private bathrooms. Super luxury rooms compare to the nice price. It was our nicest room in our US road trip all around the country. Freshly renovated for sure. Very good location and super nice staff. Not so many parking space but the receptionist said if we can't find any they have another additional parking lot not too far away. Even with this warning, we haven't have any problem to park at the hotel every night.
