Pros:

The room was very spacious and very well appointed. I have to vote that the best bathroom/shower I have ever had the privilege to use; it was huge, especially the shower, and also beautifully appointed.

Pros:

Location is great and so is the food

Cons:

We were upgraded upon arrival to the homestead room but there were some downsides to that room. Seemed as though it hasn’t been cleaned properly in quite awhile. Had to call reception to turn the heat down as it was way too hot. There is a frosted arch window that lets in a lot of light at night and it’s hard to stay asleep.
