Really like this place
We had a 1BR suite. It was very comfortable, clean, and perfect for us. The grounds and amenities (exercise room, basketball court, patios) were really nice too. I highly recommend this hotel.

5 night stay
My family and I had a wonderful stay! The staff was friendly, the room was clean, and the hotel was in a quiet area with plenty of shopping centers and restaurants nearby. Aside from the noisy shower door and the AC unit being loud when it first turned on (though the noise faded afterward), everything exceeded our expectations, and we’d love to stay here again.

Good stay. Front desk was friendly and breakfast was good. Bathroom is located in the bedroom of the suite, which can be awkward if folks are using the sofa bed.

First time was perfect, second time not so much
My first visit went perfect and was a smooth experience. The second time they gave me another room without letting me know beforehand, and the washer was broken so it ruined my clothes.

I loved the rooms ,they look like small apartments with kitchenette and large tvs.But the best thing was the personal greeting of welcome and my name on the television screen.

Clean, quiet, studio-style rooms. If you rent a car and don't worry about public transport, this is the go-to place to stay for business or pleasure.

I liked the clean room, comfortable bed, and very hospitable and helpful front desk.
I did not like the barn door to the bathroom, or the location of the open bathroom space so close to the bed. I wish every hotel would have a soft night light in the bathroom.
