Clean and Comfortable

“During my stay with friends, we found our queen suite room to be clean and perfectly accommodating for us. The room's layout included a futon that was great for lounging, and the beds were made nicely. Although the mini fridge didn't work, it didn't detract from our experience as we simply kept snacks on the table that was provided.” view full review

Functional, Yet Cozy

“I appreciated the bathroom's basic functionality during my stay. Although I noticed a few cracks in the bathtub, the overall cleanliness and upkeep were satisfactory. I did not find any shower handle issues, which can be a concern, adding to a well-functioning experience.” view full review

Reliable TV Setup

“We were able to enjoy our downtime in the room thanks to a working TV that was available for all of us. It was an added convenience after our days spent exploring. While the channels weren't extensive, having the TV to wind down made our stay feel a bit homier.” view full review

Spacious Yet Cozy

“The room we stayed in was spacious, providing enough room for all three of us without feeling cramped. The fact that it had both a mini fridge and a futon made it quite versatile, allowing us to chill and hang out comfortably. Just be mindful of the somewhat thin walls, which meant we could hear some noise occasionally, but overall it was a cute space.” view full review
