Liked: Cleanliness
We were in room 100. The microwave consistently blew the electrical strip making the oven unusable. There was also no thermostat control in the room. EV charging was only available from 8-11pm, which was not workable for us. The room was fine aside from the above, the location is great, and the staff was very friendly. I would probably try another spot in the area next time.

Room was a bit small for two people with large luggage. Had to use the table, which then meant we had no table, and the other was on luggage rack that partially obstructed opening the room door all the way.
