Like home......almost.....in a good way.
We've stayed at this hotel before, but it was a few years ago. It's old, not really updated but for what it lacks in the modern room, it makes up for in comfort and room efficiency. We did a king bed suite which was amazingly affordable and the room was awesome. The bathroom was good with amenities and the kitchen was perfect. Apartment size fridge for our 3 day stay and stove and microwave which we didn't use much, but was nice to have when we needed it. Balcony was really nice and the big tv being hung from the ceiling was a great space saver! We also had a double lazyboy loveseat in the room, sooooo comfortable and nice after a long day, just like home! The only reason it wasn't a perfect stay is the bed was not great.....but we survived!
