Great space for an extended stay
Pros:

Great space for the weekend for our family. It is not near the main shops and stores but we liked the quieter space and closer to south campus. Staff was so friendly and we loved the board games they had for us to use

Pros:

Staff were lovely, place was very clean. Only two complaints: we stayed in room 302 and the bedroom door to the living room wouldn’t close so we had to keep the door open. Also, there were four of us who stayed in the suite, two people slept on the pull out couch and the mattress was so thin you could feel the mattress springs.
For a group of 2 people the place is perfect.
