8/10 Good
"I loved that refreshments were available 24/7; as I knew I wouldn’t make it down for breakfast so picked up a muffin/yogurt the night before! I had wished there was a blanket in the room as I chill easily! I couldn’t get the coffeemaker to work as I’m not use to that kind! Staff was excellent; facility was quiet! Thanks"
