I've never stayed at a cleaner hotel before, the room and common areas were spotless. My friend and I loved our room, especially the kitchnette, it was very helpful to have while traveling. The front desk staff were very helpful, responsiveness, and courteous. For the price, I'd highly recommend this hotel, we will definitely be staying again.

When booking an extended stay type of property, I would expect there to be at least some cookware. This hotel had EVERYTHING: dishes, utensils, cookware, toaster, coffee maker, measuring cup, colander, Tupperware - in addition to the stovetop and dishwasher. It was AWESOME. The bed was very comfortable, as was the seating in the room. I liked the various lighting options. There was a glass shower instead of a tub, which I heavily prefer, and everything was clean. There was also liquid hand soap in the bathroom, which I also prefer - soap bars are a little sad and I wish more hotels would move to liquid soap. Nice clean flooring and a huge closet, and a trash can that was bigger than the usual thimble hotels give you. This place was ABSOLUTELY worth the money (and it was inexpensive)!
