We had the heart shaped Jacuzzi room. It was a beautiful room with a large flat screen internet TV and fire place. Very clean hotel. A very warm felling & Much nicer than those chain type hotels. The only negative was the very thick soft lumpy mattress. It felt like the mattress could use and upgrade but other than that we will return again.

The view isn't the best but if you just want a quiet place to relax (and an in room Jacuzzi tub), with fridge, microwave, dining table, and work desk, nearby restaurants that deliver, this is your place. One of the best appointed hotel rooms I've ever stayed in!
