Each suite has its own bathroom, free local calling, heating and cooling controls, a color TV, and a small refrigerator for any medication. Many rooms also include a recliner. If needed, there is also a crib.

Besides all of the guest rooms there are also various community spaces. There is a communal kitchen, dining room, gathering room with a fireplace, computer center with Internet access, wireless Internet access, library, TV rooms, fitness center, playroom ,free laundry facility, and free off the street parking.
