Full Feedback: I loved the room. Thank you for providing the heater fan—the night was cold! I also appreciated the bathroom rug, which kept our feet warm. I’m not sure the room was thoroughly cleaned because I found an empty Smartwater bottle under the bed. I was excited to see a bathtub, but the sign said it was only for soaking. The mineral hot baths were several steps away from our room, which was inconvenient during chilly weather.
