When we asked if the refrigerator in the room had a freezer, they said yes, but it didn't. We needed it to store breastmilk, but they were accommodating by storing our cooler in a freezer they had. The stay there was short as we arrived late, but the room was comfortable.

Nice room, with very good amenities. But the desk clerk was absent when we tried to check in, and didn’t answer the bell. Eventually I had to get one of the restaurant staff to find him. No apologies offered.Then,for the first time, we learned there was a $50 damage deposit.
