The Heavenly Bed
A popular destination for business travelers and families alike, the guest rooms are all-suite sized, making longer-stays a cinch, and providing that extra living space that lets you stretch out, unpack, and even whip up a home-cooked meal.
Cooking for yourself makes it feel like home
Each room is equipped with full size kitchens, including a fridge and dishwasher. Each cabinet and drawer is stocked as you would in your house; plates and bowls, sure, but cutting boards, can openers and spatulas ensure no MacGyver kitchen hacks required. A nifty two-burner stove top cooker makes nourishing, warm meals a snap. And if you let them know ahead of time, they’ll even stock the fridge for you. This kind of service, the level of intuitiveness and care in all these details make it easy to relax and enjoy your stay, without sweating over every meal and snack. Perfect for family meals, business trip meetups or hockey tourny tailgating, these generous spaces truly cater to that homey vibe that we all long for when we travel.
