central locationcomfortable bedinconsistent housekeepingincorrect channels
The location was central to everything. A hearty breakfast and amazing comfortable bed really helped me rest, and plush dressing gown. the free goodies made it really good.
The TV channels did not correspond to the actual broadcast channel, TLC looked on the Home channel, I was confused. Housekeeping was not consistent. One day well before noon, the next day not until 14:00 after we called to inquire.
