I loved the Nature suite. Had everything needed to make breakfast or simple meals. It was very clean and comfortable and within only a 15 minute walk to 8th street the main dinning strip. Would stay here for sure again.

Parking was a little sketch. Inside the building it was fine, but outside there was a constant weird smell. Obviously not the hotel's fault, but does impact the perception.

Everyone was great! The place was nice and clean. The only issue we had, which wasn’t to big of a deal. Was the bed sheet seemed to small for the mattress, so it kept coming off the corners every time you moved on the bed. Other than that it was great.
