This one! Parking & 5-STAR Location!

LOCATION & FREE parking just across the street! (Costs me $2k/yr—no parking in a pricey garage blocks away!). Larger than Boardwalk Suites next door. Enjoy a stylish stay in this new condo in the heart of downtown TC. Smart TVs in both the living room & bedroom with tons of channels and fast Wi-Fi, 5-star location check the reviews, this is THE SPOT to be! King bed in bedroom. Couch folds to queen; fine for kids, not comfy for adults (so don’t ding me 😅) Must book Fri & Sat together.
