charming surprise

cleanlinessroom sizedesk placement
adrian was very cute upon arrival. i was pleased with the cleanliness and size of the guest rooms. i found strong water pressure in the shower too. (it was so refreshing!)
the desk was unfortunately placed too close to the bed. it was hard to get around if another person was in the room. we worked there, so it made it awkward.
Dining
9/10
the lobby offered a 24/7 hot beverage bar. i also found fruit, cookies and instant oatmeal options available. complimentary drinks and cookies seem nice (though i didn't personally try them).
