Small but mighty! Perfect for a stY where we spent more time out than in. Great location. The bed was insanely comfortable and having the TV turn and extend off the wall worked to relax on the couch or bed.

Pretty good
It’s a nice enough place but missing some of the smaller touches to really make a place comfortable. Things were a little dusty. Overall would stay there again.
