the room was spacious. it had many different types of lights. the bathroom was nice. the cosy carpet felt good (i really liked walking barefoot).

i noticed the pillows were bad. i didn't find good restaurants in the area. the restaurants didn't seem to have a consistent schedule, so it was hard to plan.
