Absolutely perfect!
This place is absolutely perfect! Stayed in suite 203. The place is staged like a model apartment fully equipped with the most quality products and decor. This remodel is stunning and location could NOT be any better…center of Main Street strip. Most importantly (for me at least) this space was immaculate! Super clean and comfortable! We will be back soon!
