8/10 Very good

Newer, no frills place
If you are looking for a reasonable price and a kitchenette but can forgo having amenities like breakfast, pool, hot tub, lobby, and Elevator this is right for you. It may have been the specific room but it felt like lots of extra space that didn't seem well utilized.
