Heating and cooling were good. Beds were comfortable. Room was very clean. Staff was very nice. Minor complaints: Toilet paper, tissues, soap, conditioner and lotion seemed more like motel 8 level amenities. They said there were a limited number of pastries and coffee available from 6-7 AM. We we got down there no later than 6:05 AM there were only 4 Entemann's style donuts left. We only took 2 for 3 of us.
