I really enjoyed staying at this location and would have extended my stay had the rooms not all sold out. It's in a neighborhood close to everything, food, shopping, transportation. The rooms and facilities were very well maintained. The staff were all friendly and very helpful. Definitely somewhere I'll be booking again in the future.
