The hotel has everything we could need, with a full kitchen, living room, bedroom, and a dishwasher. However, there were some room issues like a ripped sofa arm and a rustic refrigerator. The AC made the suite hot.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel for one night. The location was excellent, and the room was comfortable, clean, and very quiet. It felt like a home away from home with a full refrigerator available. The service was friendly and welcoming, and the staff even shared local information about downtown shops. The dining options were satisfactory, and the facilities provided a good experience overall.
