"It was a really nice place. We didn’t eat anything directly from the hotel but they did had all the things that were necessary, but the only thing that we were having trouble with the room temperature especially, at night it would get really really cold and the heater wasn’t working Other than that. It was a really great place. The staff was wonderful and we felt very safe and comfortable. "
