The general layout of the room was nice. Nice to have two sinks. Odd that the closet was in the bathroom and the safe at such a low level. Having a fireplace in the room that actually heated the room was nice. Appreciated the blackout shades very much. The room was very quiet even though it was near the soda machine. There was one day we didn't get maid service. The service and food in the restaurant were horrible and it was noisy even with only two other guests. The first time we pulled into the garage, our car windows fogged on both the outside and inside it was so humid in there. It got better when we used the AC. The garage was too hot.

We felt the restaurant wasn’t maybe great, although the servers did their best to serve us. No issues with the evening servers..
