Excellent stay!

Everything in my room was brand new and beautifully detailed. I needed a hair dryer and the one in the room was top notch. I needed an iron and that worked excellent! Bathroom was new and well detailed with a beautiful lighted mirror and good quality all the way. Only one complaint was the keurig, it was almost new but i always run a cup of water first and it came out light brown so i ran a few more cups of just water before using a k-cup. Also...the free breakfast was excellent with a lot of variety and delicious food and two fancy coffee machines that grind the beans fresh! Excellent!
