Mediterranean Inn

Mediterranean Inn

8/10 Good
"This is the perfect spot to stay if you’re going to anything at Climate Pledge Arena. The only reason it’s 4 stars is the parking garage. Almost all the spots are marked compact and are tiny. I drive a midsize suv (Nissan pathfinder) and I was just on the lines of both sides of the parking spot. Luckily it was t busy so no one parked next to me but it would have been incredibly frustrating trying to get in my car if anyone did."
