Small rooms, but very cozy. Nothing fancy, but everything you need: apartment-sized refrigerator with a freezer, microwave, lots of plugs on both sides of the bed, roomy shower, and a comfortable bed. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. I’ve stayed here a couple of times and will come back.
