"I was pleased with the size of the suite; there were two rooms, each had a tv, The bed was fine but there was just one large comforter and no sheets, it wasn’t ideal for hot sleepers like me. I was surprised to find hair on the ground in the bathroom. Not really sure how housekeeping missed that as it was dark and course. Except for finding hair on the bathroom floor, the stay was near to exceptional. I would like to get a bigger waffle with breakfast (size of a small burger)."
