We could not get heater to get higher than 68 degrees at night. My friend is 67 and from Florida. Also the TV did not work. We told them in morning but they said we booked through a different party (I used Travelocity) and I needed to let them know in order to get money taken off our room. I paid over $220 for one night. Room had a double or full bed and a twin bed that was too soft and uncomfortable.

Wonder private hot tub. They take appointments to use the hot tub so you can enjoy it in peace and quiet. And it was super clean. :)
