The room was certainly big enough. It had a full kitchen, but I know that not all of the rooms do. It has been updated, not sure when, though. I didn't get the chance to enjoy or see the pool as I was too busy working until late at night. I did NOT appreciate the virtual receptionist. It was weird and awkward, and I like to chat with the receptionist when I get to a new area to find out about good restaurants in the area (from a local and not someone in a call center), find out about local attractions, etc. I would, however, stay here again.
