Our stay was long term (35 days). The suite has a great fridge and a great barbecue. It also has a good microwave. The two burner cook top is powered by a single plug so full heat is leisurely if you are using both burners. Most short term stays would not find this a problem as most people use restaurants when traveling. We found a great deal on Group1 at the Tides restaurant. You must try their blackened salmon.
