The room looked brand NEW. The bed was comfortable. Water, cookies, and hot cocoa were a very nice touch and I felt VERY welcomed. The shower was great.

the room had a good layout (which i did appreciate).

the hostess helped with suitcases, but i found there were too many stairs to deal with, especially with heavy luggage. this made the arrival and departure a bit difficult. i wasn't pleased about that.
