We will definitely use this brand for an extended stay vacation, with all it has to offer! We only needed a 2 night stay, so didn't need to cook but the coffee pods and creamer are a wonderful thing to wake up to!

Not your traditional Hotel experience but would definitely consider staying here again. I would suggest a TV in the bedrooms and not just the living space.

Liked: Communication
Parking was way more complicated than needed, and was hard to get any help From the front desk. Also, paying to park is outrageous considering there is free parking outside. The place was nice but there needs to be better explanation ahead of time regarding parking and check in.
