8/10 Good
"The staff members at check-in & check-out were warmly professional and attentive. What a gorgeous & spacious living room area with appealing decor. The breakfast options were fantastic for self-serve options. The room was immaculate. Two points that led me to rate it a 4.7 out of 5 = the extremely hard bed & non-working light & electric fixtures on the side of the bed by the window."
