Stayed in a King Suite non smoking.. the bed and pillows were comfortable… the room was clean and well appointed. The kitchen stocked with everything you could need for basic cooking. Would have only asked that bottled water was stocked in the room. The staff was very helpful and friendly from the moment I checked in until the moment I left!
