I really liked having a kitchenette. Cooking meals was a big bonus. One thing I didn't like is I couldn't figure out the nespresso machine. So I stuck to the instant coffee they supply. You can fill up on filtered water in the lobby. They do sell bags of chips, wine, beer, and soda in the lobby. Everything was very clean. Very nice staff.
