large beds big bathroom small kitchen

The room was very big and it was clean. It had two large beds and a big bathroom that featured both a tub and a shower. A small kitchen area was also there and included cooking facilities. Each afternoon, the hotel provided complimentary cheese and red wine.

The carpeting gave the entire hotel an unpleasant odor.
