Eh, not bad but…

Felt very humid and muggy in my room, did not sleep well, drove back home to VA my second night just because I wanted decent sleep. Allergies were acting up in my room as if something was as in the walls. Love the coziness and cost effectiveness but I was just not comfortable this time.
