We stayed in a suite. I chose this place because it came with parking included and price was very reasonable. The AC/Heater worked great, the water pressure was great, the rooms were cozy, clean and spacious, microwave was huge, the roof patio was very cool, and the customer service went above and beyond! I would definitely stay here again!
