“I see real value in this extended-stay hotel: every room has a full kitchen, making longer stays far more comfortable. I particularly like the borrowing system for appliances and games, adding a community feel, plus its pet-friendly policy is a major advantage for families. With its proximity to the University of Georgia, it strikes me as ideal for visiting academics or those attending university events.”
