good sized bedroom large bathroom cooked-to-order breakfast old carpet lack of soundproof untasty dish
We stayed in a SUPERIOR king room. It had a good sized bedroom and a large bathroom. The bathroom included a separate bath and shower. Breakfast was cooked to order, AND it was lovely. We had a really good selection to choose from.
The carpet flooring in the room seemed VERY old. It really could be changed. Our room was not soundproof. I could hear EVERYTHING outside.

The location was pretty convenient to everything (i walked everywhere).
My room felt a bit dated. The carpet showed definite signs of wear, and the soundproofing was not great, i could hear noise from other rooms and the hallway. This made it difficult to sleep in.
