Very nice rooms and the added benefit of the nearby secure garage parking was much appreciated. Only request would be to repair or post instructions for the floor heat in the bathroom as we could not get it to work properly, but this could have easily been "operator error"! Thanks again for hosting us during our Christmas visit!
