There weren’t enough places to hang towels in the bathroom. Only one towel rack behind the toilet. The one on the door had been removed. Needed a couple more spots to dry used towels.

Unfortunately we arrived late due to weather. So we couldn’t explore the surrounding area. Room was comfortable. Bed was very comfortable! Clean room and good breakfast. One thing I must complain about, the mini fridge didn’t work. We needed it for some perishable items and it did not chill.

Could have been better for sure

Everything seemed fine overall, and breakfast was good, however the alarm clock was pre-set for 5am and the off button did not work, the sheets had some small brown stains on them, and I found someone else’s dirty sock in the bathroom. The deadbolt latch also was very loose so I was happy to have been traveling with my dog.
