Great location and the place was amazingly clean. Easy walk to downtown and while there is noise, it is much better than staying directly downtown. The only change that would make this place more perfect is a chest of drawers in the bedrooms (even a small bedside size would be great) as there is limited storage for non-hanging clothing. Would definitely stay here again!

The unit was clean and perfect for our needs this weekend. Loaded with lots of amenities and in a great location. Only suggestions to make the stay better would be more ice trays and a bin to store the ice and some cooking tongs. We did notice the dryer needed a couple cycles to get clothes dry and the hot water didn't last long. Couldn't get through two showers back to back. Next time we'll adjust the shower schedule. Other than those minor things it was perfect and comfortable. We'll be back.
