adequate stay with some drawbacks

tiny tv poor sound proofing
the tv was quite small. i also found there was no mirror near an electrical outlet, made drying my hair inconvenient. sound proofing was not good, and i could hear creaking from people walking above. there also were no drawers for storing clothes.

Lynda was a gracious host. She upgraded our room since one was available. The room was clean. Homemade fudge was delicious.
