    "The Leef was so cute. Very clean. Super comfy bed. AC worked well which was a blessing on a 100 degree day. The TV is mounted on the wall and swings out in a really nifty way. It was alao nice a quiet. The check in process with the lobby person on a screen was really interesting. Different but it worked well. And I 😘 bed the code for the door instead of a key. No key to lose! I would stay here again in a heartbeat"
