We had thee great nights here. The staff was welcoming. The room was comfortable- stayed in a room with 3 twins. They offers a small fridge, Wi-Fi and AC, although I had a hard time with getting the AC to a happy medium. The space is clean, offers a bathroom, water station and microwave in the hallway. I would definitely stay here again.
