I thought the room was really excellent and the details, from the kettle to the shower were really top of the line. My only complaint was that the super inviting walk in shower, with the giant shower head, had very weak water pressure - it was a real disappointment.

Shower temp could be a bit hotter. Water was like warm. Other than that place was clean, and exactly as pictured! Would stay here again!
