Surprising value near the studios

friendly staffhelpful staffcozy roomgreat shower
I found the staff at reception very friendly and helpful. They assisted with parking in the limited spaces. My room was clean and cozy. The bathroom shower worked GREAT. The water run-off prevented pooling around my feet!
The doors and their locks need some attention. Some doors require re-hanging to correct jamming problems. This made opening doors difficult, preventing engagement of the door locks.

The location is GREAT. I could easily walk to nearby restaurants. The staff was always available and ready to assist with any questions. I appreciated the cleanliness of my room and the fresh towels EVERY day. I also liked having a fridge, SUPER useful for storing snacks.
