The queen suite was nice and large. The additional room was much bigger than I anticipated. The staff was nice and chill and it is in a great location. I would definitely stay here again and I recommend paying a little extra for the double queen suite… You get a refrigerator and a little sitting room with two chairs and a desk and a TV and a window and a door that you could close to do extra work or have a private phone conversation, etc.
