The desk clerk was very helpful. He helped with internet for our travels. He also advised me on a parking ticket I got - parked right across the street. The ticket agent gave me a ticket in error - because I was able to park until 8am. Spectacular!

Really like the cleanliness of the room, it felt really fresh and sharp. Bathroom was in good condition and the washing machine and drier were perfect for us during our travels.
Had a small power box that packed a big punch, with 4 USB ports and 3single phase power points.
The bed was so comfortable, definitely a good sleep which I appreciated.
The small kitchen area was spotless and had everything I needed.
