Dream Machines Get Away

We stayed just one night and check in was efficient and the room was very nice and comfortable. There are two things that I would suggest be reviewed: 1) there was a wall heater so I turned that on and when we got back after dinner it was very cold in the room. Then we saw a space heater in the room and realized the main heater did not work. It would have been nice to have known that. Actually, this should be fixed. 2) the bathroom towels to be used for the shower we amazingly small and very thin. This was not a pleasure at all and for this type of hotel - I think these towels should be improved upon

Noisy from upstairs guests, you could hear all footsteps and many conversations. Assuming just loud, disrespectful guests as the hotel couldn’t fix. That was our only real complaint.

We had an amazing time and it's a beautiful place. They did switch our room because the heater wasn't working but it also didn't work in the toom they moved us to. A really nice, little place though.
