Terrible experience. The heater is so loud you can’t sleep, but it’s too cold to turn it off (and the blanket is thin). Housekeeping also knocked at 8am even though checkout is 11am. Don’t go.

The room was very spacious and clean! We truly enjoyed our long weekend there. The staff was very friendly and always helpful. The only issue was that there was no phone in the room and we searched for it as we needed extra pillows. Had to call the front desk and then they brought someone over to just tell us they took the phone due to “connection issues”. I was fine without a phone but letting us know beforehand would have been nice instead of spending almost an hour looking for it. Aside from that, highly recommend!
