Honestly it was fine. Some other reviews had me nervous, but I would stay there again
Pros:

breakfast was fine - maybe more gluten free options would be nice but that is everywhere

Cons:

the couch was a little visually icky, but I wouldn't sit on any couch in any hotel room without covering it with a blanket or sheet anyway

I love the idea of this hotel and my stay there last spring was amazing. This Tomei was disappointed with the room and t
Pros:

I love that there were two bedrooms with two bathrooms and a kitchen. Perfect for our family.

Cons:

The hotel and room had a really bad smell. The hotel is also in need of remodeling. The chairs in the dining room/kitchen area of our suite were torn and “well used”.
