I stayed there for a few months and I must say how quiet the place is. The rooms were nice and clean. There is always someone at the front desk at all hours to help you when you need help. Vending machines actually have things you can eat and not just snacks!! Employees were very kind and helpful. No regrets in booking at Studio 6!!
