"Great hotel to stay at with a toddler! Separate living area, full kitchen (full size refrigerator, stove, plates and utensils), dining table, TV area with couches and extra blanket, very clean. We felt at home. We did use a sound machine to fall asleep; if you’re bothered by car noise, bring ear plugs because we heard plenty of sport cars driving by. Rooms not soundproof, but still quiet. My other suggestion would be to dust the couches, something set off my allergies."
