Michelle allowed us early access to our room for luggage drop-off. The room included beverages, water, biscuits, toiletries, a hairdryer, and a fan. Beds offered superb comfort (i slept like a baby!).
The room decor seemed a little dated.

Mixed feelings about the stay

unclear breakfast detailsinsufficient storage
I was really annoyed by the breakfast situation. That detail REALLY should have been clearer upfront. The staff seemed embarrassed to explain this, made the whole thing MORE awkward. the room felt quite small, and there wasn't enough storage for my belongings.
