This place is super cool! the staff was friendly, and i felt very welcome. my room was super clean and spacious (especially after a long day). i also appreciated the convenient parking. It made everything easier.
the wi-fi signal was a little weak in my room, it made streaming a bit frustrating. (i know, first world problems!).
