Comfortable bed, best nights sleep I’ve had in months! Tv had Netflix and other apps. Great location. Has guest laundry and kitchenette facilities. Really it had everything we could have wanted in a place to stay.

It was a little noisy outside the door as people were getting up and leaving in the morning but I have ear plugs anyway
