Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I appreciated the great bed mattress, soft, supportive desk chair, the ability to control the room temperature and the fan speed, the deep sink in the bathroom (great for washing items), the bright lighting, and the free coffee and tea. Plus you can print up to ten pages - a great perk! It's also in a great location near multiple forms of public transportation and various restaurants.
