Liked: Amenities
Tired based on age of property. TV was meant to be 42 inch, closer to a 32 inch. Nice to have a desk and chair. Ample pillows and nice, comfy beds, soft, medium and hard so a goldilocks choice. Linen clean. Toilet paper and milk not replenished for second night. Cobwebs in window sill recess even after housekeeping done. Restaurant, limited options but what we got was 10/10. Shanks and steak. Breakfast limited, based on options $20 would have been a fairer price.cost scrambled eggs so perfect, warm, soft and not watery, hash browns overcooked so dry. Noted mugs had old coffee stains, time to buy new ones. Dining chairs a bit hard at edge and got uncomfortable. Internet not great on second night probably as full occupancy compared to 30;percent previous night. Staff were pleasant, however didn’t ask if we had any issues.
