Perfect location and super nice staff! The A/c works well (they turn off the air and other electricity at some points in the day) and the rooms are super clean and always stocked with whats needed, although it means a lot of times there are many staff members coming in to check, repair, and restock things in the room. Some stuff in my laundry ended up getting lost but staff made it easy to find and returned it to me.
