Pros +

  • Beds were extremely comfortable and our room was spotless
  • Laundry and gym
  • Clean, updated, professional and friendly front desk, reasonably priced. Excellent in every way

Cons -

  • The room should have a small table to eat at or play games instead of an uncomfortable recliner
  • Smoke
  • We stayed there in December 2024 and January 2025. In both rooms, there was a problem with the control knobs for the 2-burner stovetop. In the one in January, both of the knobs were broken and we had to really work with it to get them started.
