    “Showed up a little early and room was ready to go and I could not fault this place it was exceptionally clean not one ounce of dirt on any surface. Very impressed with the space and amenities provided. Kitchen had everything you could need as well. Staff were just as incredible it was clear that they were well trained and overall just very welcoming, friendly and assistive. Also a great location wasn’t too noisy but central to everything. Very impressed and will not be staying anywhere else in the future”

  • Good short stay at great location.
