"In a good location not far off the highway. Breakfast was good, coffee/tea/hot chocolate is available all the time. My room was generally good, were some stains on sheets but I didn't notice til last night so didn't bother mentioning. An interesting thing with the tv(remote is difficult to use since I brought that up) If you have the light switch on it'll be cool, if you turn it off it'll turn the tv off and cannot be turned on so I just left it on and hand turned the lamps off 🙄."
