Fantastic stay with a super comfy bed!

friendly ladycomfortable bedelectric tripping
The lady greeted us upon arrival! She was super friendly and helped us find parking. She also showed us around and took us to our room! The room featured a brand new bed. The bed was ridiculously comfortable, and the bedding was clean and fresh.
The electric kept tripping! It tripped on and off about seven times. The landlord had to reset it each time.
