The staff were super friendly and responsive and the room was immaculately clean. We are seniors and my husband has mobility challenges, and we thoroughly enjoyed the height and comfort of the king size platform bed and the beautiful, roomy walk in rain shower. Wish I could have brought both home with us! The toilet is low if you have mobility issues and don't forget your hairdryer (we did) because there isn't one in the room. A few other tweaks would be nice to have - a coat rack on the wall for hanging clothes and lights on both sides of the bed (instead of just one) would be helpful additions. But there are plenty of drawers and the room is spacious and comfortable with a with a convenient kitchenette and fantastic location. We definitely recommend and will gladly stay there again.
