We stayed here twice recently, both times in a room with king bed. The first room was excellent and well appointed, so I gave this property five stars. The second was somewhat lacking - it had an odd chaise lounge and a desk chair, instead of a sofa or a pair of easy chairs so only one of us could sit comfortably. The room was clean, but bathroom could use a deeper cleaning - there was a little mold in the caulk. This being said, I dropped my rating to 4 stars.
