"Clean room with kitchenette added much more space to the room. Very open space enjoyed it a lot! Kitchenette had all of the little extra utensils pots and pans and dishes needed to prepare our own meals instead of spending extra money eating out at restaurants for a very small extra price to pay! Our second time there in the past month will definitely return there next time we visit Redding"
