Great size room, plenty of space for two people to spread their belongings out and relax. Big tv. Great kitchen space with everything you need. Spa bath on balcony is a great touch. 5 minute walk to main stress. only let down for the room was quality of mattress, wasn’t the worst mattress but definitely due for an upgrade.
