Great location

The room was very cozy. We were bummed the fireplace didn't work. We picked this room for that reason! Otherwise, it was a very nice room and comfy bed. Make sure you lock your room while you are in the room. Had a couple walk right in shortly after we arrived and were relaxing on the bed before heading out for the evening.
