The room staff and location are great. This would be where I would choose to stay here for myself and family as the value is outstanding. Free parking, laundry and spacious room. We were upgraded to the room with a spa bath, in the 1 bedroom apartment. It was fresh, clean and everything you could need for either a short term stay or a long term stay. The staff are so supportive and down to earth, incredibly considerate and friendly which for us gives this place A++ ratings, very highly recommended. There is some traffic noise, however after coming from another major city it is minimal.
