"The property was perfect, very clean, comfortable, and modern finishes. It was graduation season when I stayed there, so it was a little loud, but I brought a sound machine, which helped a lot, since I am a light sleeper. Highly recommend this place--great location, close to lots of things to do, good food, and shopping. "
