The rainfall shower was fantastic! The water was also very nice and hot. I found the room very spacious.
The coffee cups in the room were too small. I also thought the bed was too hard. The pillows were much too soft, but that is my personal preference.

awesome fireplace comfortable sleep central location great experience
the fireplace was awesome, and i slept more comfortably than i have in a while. the location was central, so all tourist attractions were nearby. i'll definitely stay here again next time. It's a 10/10 experience!!!
the tvs were old with no smart tv functions. due to the size of rooms they are too small.
