"It was fun meeting other people and the communal areas were comfortable and set up for that. It was nice having access to a refrigerator, ice, and filtered water. The food was very fresh. The breakfasts were interesting and it would have been easier if we had had some simpler choices rather than the elaborate dishes that were served. "
