"Overall, the room was really nice. Bathroom was really nice and big. Would've liked to not have so many extremely bright lights everywhere in the bathroom (esp over the toilet), as getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, was too much light. It was also great having a king-sized bed, but the huge TV at the foot of the bed needed to be smaller and up higher. Would also be nice if the TV could've been rotatable at least--so it could be more comfortably watched from the sofa....
