“This extended-stay hotel offers practical comforts, particularly for those who appreciate a full kitchen and the convenience of preparing their own meals. While not centrally located, the proximity to I-35 makes getting around fairly straightforward, and free parking is a definite advantage. I think it's a solid choice for longer stays where self-sufficiency is key.”
