"I absolutely LOVED the warm cookies. Ive never been anywhere where they have that. It was a very thoughtful surprise. The room needed a bit of renovation though. Wallpaper peeling in some spots, carpet coming up in some spots. I also wished they had a microwave or fridge."

You would think the staff would be more accommodating considering what's going on. Total waste of money and time. Could've went somewhere different and gotten better service
