Clean, family friendly. High quality linens, pristine bathroom. Perfect rest after long travel weekend. Giant high quality TV in room. Front desk even offers toothpaste or razors as airport teavelers might not have packed these. Only suggestion is a stool because the cozy bed is on a high platform. It was a little difficult for this elder, short stature lady to jump up.
