Really good Experience!

fabulous locationhelpful staffcomfortable beddingcheap toilet paper
The location is fabulous. I found the staff helpful. They made check-in easy and were always available. Being able to drop off my luggage before check-in was definitely perfect. The room was quiet and clean as new, with very comfortable bedding.
The light switches in the room were confusing. I also noticed that the toilet paper was rather cheap and positioned too far from the bowl, inconvenient.
