Our phone in the room did not work, the refrigerator made noise all the time, and the microwave stop working. We did not get full size bath towels. We felt safe going out side to go somewhere by us, we were able to have a good breakfast, maney options.

8/10 Very Good! (1,007 reviews)

Our Room is perfect for people who have trouble getting around. Lots of handholds. Did see a single white beetle scamper about and went into the sink where I boiled him & sent him down the drain. I am still not a big fan of Grab&Go. Also the cereal needs to be frosted flakes & frootloops, cornflakes & cheerios require sugar.
