"I enjoyed staying here and would again. It was so close to the outlets. The rooms were great and were very similar to the embassy suites set up with a bedroom and separate living room. I loved the onsite washer and dryer but especially loved the combo machine that washes and drys the clothes. As always staff are so polite, helpful, and professional. Love it and would recommend staying here!"
