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.
