We had a great stay! The room was in an amazing location and the room was clean and comfy. It has a fully stocked kitchen and a full size refrigerator so we definitely want to go back for a longer stay. The location and parking was a little confusing but the staff was readily available and helpful over the phone with that. It needs a couple updates but we loved our stay and will be back! We felt the beds were comfy and the location was quiet.

We had a wonderful stay! The room was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. The check-in process was quick and seamless, which we really appreciated. The only small challenge was that the the door was a bit difficult to navigate at first, but we were able to figure it out. Felt a little uneasy with it! Overall, we had a great experience and will definitely be coming back!
