Enjoyable stay. A couple suggestions for the room - offer kleenex; regular creamer rather than just hazel nut; instructions for lights-housekeeping apparently turned on the light over the sink which was helpful but then we couldn’t get it to go off; finally succeeded but were unable to leave a light on in the bathroom at night - they all went off. Tried calling the desk Sunday evening to ask assistance on the lights, but got no answer. Very confusing lighting system. Also realized I didn’t get a receipt and had to call to find out there was a $150 deposit that would be reimbursed, which is fine, but we were not informed and nothing in writing.
