Great room- I wasn't expecting much from its location/name but it went well beyond my hopes. I slept so soundly in a very comfy bed. The only draw back I had was that hot water took a few more minutes than I anticipated.

The room was clean. Did not use hot tub. The breakfast was awful, did not have any variety and had ran out of waffle batter early. Would not recommend breakfast.
