Centrally located and super clean. Well stocked. Only downside was hearing the people upstairs walk around throughout the night which didn’t help the sleep at all. Would stay here again.

Friendly, welcoming host upon arrival, ample parking, easy access to ground floor suite. Unfortunately the shower was rather dated and quite small, especially for people that are 6 foot and 6 foot plus. Other than that it was a great place to stay.
