"I was happily surprised by this place, because I was concerned about. the area. I was happy to hear that guests had to be let in the front door, cars had to be registered, and they had a security guard. We had a dog with us. The bed was nice and firm, the kitchen was better than I expected as far as dishes,pans, etc... The tub was nice, plenty of towels. I was happy. I'm glad I brought my own pillows, but besides that I will ,we will , definitely be back. "
