Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
The bathroom needs another towel rack. There is a problem with the fireplace-you have to open a window to draft the air in the room or smoke comes out into the room. I was glad for washcloths and a bar of soap. Also the extra blanket was good.
