"The room was very clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. I really liked having a 50" inch smart tv which allowed me to watch all my shows on my apps. My room had a sleeper sofa and coffee table which were nice additions as well as having a mini fridge and microwave. The breakfast was nice because there were hot and cold items to chose from. The staff was very welcoming from the front desk to the housekeepers! If I'm in the area I would definitely stay again!"
