    Triple room was VERY SPACIOUS, perfect for our luggage. Dedicated bathroom was also very new and spacious. Availability of a kitchen was helpful. Love how transportation options were aplenty. The free breakfast pancakes on Sundays were fantastic!

    Location is excellent near some cute shopping areas, food, and access to transit into the city. The facilities themselves were regularly cleaned and well-maintained.
