Room originally didn’t have enough heat right before a snowstorm and the front desk switched our room and helped us move our belongings. She was kind and very helpful. Just the rule of too much stuff being brought in the room was something I wasn’t used to. We are relocating from another state so we did have luggage and it was 3 of us. Other than that and the bed was pretty hard. Overall decent space.
