Everything was very clean. I loved that the refrigerator and microwave were full sized. I like to have milk and juice available, it’s hard to keep in a small mini fridge. The bed was very comfortable. There was a conveniently located elevator so no stairs to climb. Overall a great experience!!

We had a great one-night stay, the staff was very friendly and welcoming and the room was spacious with a decent kitchen setup. The only issue we had was that there was some hair underneath the extra blanket on the bed which was gross, but overall it was a good stay!
