The room was great, well-stocked, very spacious, and the staff were excellent. The only annoying thing was that there was a humidifier that no one told me about that I had to empty myself every day. Apart from that, highly recommend!

I had a nice, useful description describing all of this, but Expedia's trash AI scanning for rule violations kept rejecting it for no actual discernable reason, so you get this useless blurb instead... since it's required... Good place; will stay again.

We stayed for one night. The unit was large and offered plenty of space. Parking was convenient and dining options were within walking distance. The staff was very helpful; there was a slight mixup with the room, but they were able to come up with a solution we were happy with. Thank you.
