equipped kitchen chocolate cookies
The shared kitchen was a standout. It had everything needed for meal preparation, ovens, and ample cooking utensils were available. Free coffee and chocolate cookies were a treat throughout the day!
The hotel's dedicated parking was more expensive than the city's indoor parking lots.
