Cons

Limited housekeeping provided only for stays of 7 nights or more

“The proximity to the freeway stands out as a practical benefit. I think the provision of a microwave and refrigerator in the rooms is a plus for convenience. Also, it's a good thing that they allow pets without extra charges.”
