Room large, immaculate with comfortable beds and many amenities (fridge, micro, coffee, large tv, hair dryer, soaps in shower, banging WiFi, charging station...) we loved parking outside and rolling right in. Big breakfast for all, old school cocktail lounge in lobby open until 11 (fun not rowdy)."
