The rooms were good in size, very clean and very pet friendly. The staff super friendly and very helpful and the location was excellent. Overall our stay at simply suites was comfortable. We only have one complaint there is only one elevator and unfortunately for us it was on the other side of the building and we were on the third floor so it was a lot of stairs or a very long walk,
