Great experience

It was convenient, comfortable and clean. I had the best sleep Ive had in a while. I was a little worried that my daughter wouldnt be comfortable sleeping on the futon but she daid it was great. The whole process was easy, i was even able to add another day without any hassle. I would definitely stay there again if I am in the area.
