"Exactly what we needed for a couple days away. The downsides being the provided toilet paper was useless and heated towel rail didn’t seem to work. On the positive side, bed was super comfy, shower was nice and hot, great after a hike. Complimentary breakfast was very simple but also a surprise to us, better than nothing. The room as a whole was a decent size, clean and just what we were looking for"
