"It was a nice 2-night stay at The Spot. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. The AC, heater, and microwave all worked well. I especially liked that the bathroom featured both a rain shower and a handheld shower spray. Note for visitors: 1 King Bed Suites are located on the ground level, while 2 Queen Rooms are on the second floor."
