The room was clean and spacious. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. The bathroom was quite cold but it was very cold outside. Easy entrance and exit to the room.

Such a lovely place to stay. The condo was clean, comfortable and easily accessible. I especially enjoyed the water pressure in the showers and how quickly the unit heated up after the outdoor temps plummeted.
