Great place to stay! We had two rooms, a full kitchen, family room, and dining room room. It was spacious and a great layout. Perfect place to stay to be able to walk to all the shopping and restaurants. Would absolutely stay here again. Front desk staff was super friendly and they made check-in very easy.
