"The room was clean, spacious and comfortable. Since no breakfast included, a coffee maker would have been nice. Main complaint was how long it took to warm up. Our stay was on a chilly October night and the room was freezing. Took us a moment to get the heater working, Luckily we had sleeping bags to add to the bed, by morning it was comfortable."
