The beds are extremely comfortable, and that was the best shower head I've ever experienced in a hotel. I actually would love to know the brand/style! I also enjoyed having the ability to connect to my Netflix account. The rooms were much smaller than expected. The food was underwhelming. It would be nice to have a waffle maker at breakfast along with pancake.maker. (Pancakes could have been a bit larger.) Sausage was excellent, but potatoes need improvement and just use a different bacon altogether. Extreme thinness and crispiness was just odd.
