Always helpful staff and improvements not always are improvements; my room had LED ceiling light and none at bedside or desk side made room lighting terrible! And remove door to bathroom and replace with curtain. What a pain the butt door configuration. Otherwise, great location, clean grounds and room!

Actually, the “kitchenettes” — that available in some of the rooms — could be described as a limited “food prep” area, with nothing other than a counter, a “mini-microwave oven,” a smaller cubic sized “mini-refrig/freezer. For cleanup, your bathroom sink will have to do “double duty,” of handling your assorted cookware, yet also your personal ablutions! Bottomline, I’d suggest an “extended stay” property if, you’re even slightly serious about “exercising your inner-Chef!

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
Tv remote was disgustingly cruddy and broke as was the TV. No electricity in the vanity area and bathroom therefore no hairdryer and no lighting in either the toilet/shower or sink. Bed covers were not adequately cleaned and the occupants next door had a dog that barked incessantly - whose owners bounced a ball against the wall most of the night for the dog’s entertainment. I recommend earplugs and a flashlight and maybe some pepper spray.
