Rooms are nice but will never stay at that location again due to the pillow and heater issue.
Pros:

Clean well taken care of room with no funny smells.

Cons:

The pillows were absolutely horrible. Was not able to sleep for more than an hour at a time because the heater kept making a loud repetitive noise.

Pros:

The location was perfect for us.
