I had a unique experience at this hotel. The rooms were so clean, which was surprisingly refreshing. The spacious and comfortable room had a sofa area, a kitchenette, a work area, and a king bed, all well-stocked and meticulously maintained. However, the service had its ups and downs, from being rude and unhelpful at times to offering homemade cookies each afternoon. The hotel's location in a residential area was great for my needs, being easy to reach by car and close to local attractions. The dining experience was satisfactory with good breakfast options available. The facilities were decent, although some improvements could be made.
