Loved by guests
"The room with king bed is superb with high quality perfect equipment, internet, TV, all kinds of plugs, toiletries."
"Room #8 was fairly small and on the second floor so 3 big bonuses: 1. the air conditioner was smaller than most hotels so was QUIET"
"Very well designed efficient room, small but everything was there (coffee maker, mini fridge, microwave, enough and well placed electrical outlets)."
