We had a spacious room with lots of counter space and electrical outlets. The bed was great as were sheets, pillows and duvet. It made me feel comfortable because these things were so clean. Breakfast and the ladies that keep it filled were really great. Lots of variety and some interesting temptations elevated breakfast. The bathroom drains were slow, my only negative.
