Rooms

my queen room included two beds and a thick curtain offering a degree of separation it seemed like a thoughtful design. the presence of two separate televisions opposite each bed was quite unique and appreciated. extra sets of towels were provided adding to the convenience.
Dining

there was no dedicated breakfast service however the lobby provided complimentary coffee and tea each morning. many dining options are nearby so finding a place to eat was easy. a cvs market located just across the street allowed me to quickly grab snacks.
