The kids loved the huge room, a converted conference room. Perfect for our group of 4 adults and 3 energetic boys. The only down side was, we couldnt get it to warm up past 62 degrees. But we loved everything else and would definitely stay here again.

Room was very clean and spacious. We had a group and reserved a big room with several beds and were thrilled with the space the room had. It had two bathrooms, fireplace and everything we needed, including a full size fridge/freezer. Price was great too! Definitely recommend for big family or large group!!
