Nice place to stay, room was nice. The shared kitchen was a nice add. Dishes were provided, and the refrigerator had a water and ice option. You can cook and bake which a few people did. Everyone was quiet-in the building. Good location near everything. Good area never felt unsafe. Parking was good.
