The room was spotless and very spacious. Super comfortable and felt like it was worth more than the price for sure. Pretty good location as well. The only negative for me was I was looking forward to going swimming but their indoor pool was not heated and a slight annoyance was that the ice machine was out of order on my floor. Other than that, I was there for a week and it was fantastic!
