“This extended-stay property emphasizes convenience with its fully equipped kitchens and pet-friendly stance. Its proximity to the University of Delaware is a plus, yet some reports mention concerns about cleanliness. In my opinion, the 24-hour amenities and free laundry add tangible value for longer visits.”
