The hotel is very clean, and the suites are nice, featuring a full-size fridge, stove, microwave, dishes, and utensils. It seems to be located next to a nursing home. There are many shopping areas nearby, as well as a variety of restaurants. It’s conveniently located, and I would definitely stay again.
