10/10 Excellent
"Our suite truly was a suite. There's a complete kitchen with cooktop,, pots and pans, utensils, and dishwasher. The comfortable bed has a night stand and reading light on both sides, plus down pillows All the expected amenities are there - microwave, large fridge, coffee, etc., . Square footage was outstanding. Even the usually dreary self-serve breakfast was a step above the norm. There is a comfortable common area for a small group, just off the main lobby, with a huge screen TV, books, and board games. Earlier on this 3-week trip we had stayed at a place half as good and twice as expensive. This was the best value I've seen in a hotel - well - ever!"
