Upon arrival, we were surprised to find that we had a suite. It was nice to have a separate area from the bedroom to sit and watch TV. There was also a kitchenette, large frig with freezer and a microwave. We had a wonderful view of the park across the street and could watch the sunsets from our room. One complaint: There were only paper cups for warming beverages and the microwave seemed to burn the outside of the cups. Would also be helpful to have paper towels available for drying utensils.
