Comfortable and Clean

“During my stay, I found the room to be just what I needed - comfortable and very clean. It offered a decent-sized fridge, a microwave, and a coffee maker along with a good selection of TV channels. While it wasn't a luxury suite, it had all the basic amenities to make my stay enjoyable.” view full review
