The room was pristine. Smelled like a new hotel. Beds were comfortable and clean, bathroom was sparkling, I could have allowed my kids to bathe in the tub if they wished. You can't do that at most hotels... TVs were new and the breakfast was great! The steakhouse attached to the hotel was lovely too!
