My stay at Sommerset Suites was truly enjoyable. The hotel was conveniently located in Hillcrest, making it easy to access nearby restaurants and shops. The room was spacious and well-equipped, which was perfect for my extended stay. However, I did notice some siren noise from the nearby hospitals, so a room at the back might be quieter. Overall, it was a great 'home away from home' experience.
