Perfect place for the night, the weekend or longer if needed. We stayed in room #4, it was Very clean, very easy to access with code. 2 QN beds, 1 much newer than the other. Nice Kitchenette with accessories. Mini fridge and full stove. Only complaint was a light didn’t work and toilet didn’t flush well. I would definitely stay here again.
