The room was spotless! The bathroom was well stocked and even had a rubber ducky which was a very nice touch. It had a very well stocked kitchenette, and 2 queen size beds for a very reasonable price. The best part: it was dog friendly! I would definitely stay here again and will recommend it to everyone I know
