We liked the room, very clean, good size, well appointed. Our one complaint is the small beds. The rooms should have king beds. I can't imagine how two large people, we aren't, could have a comfortable night in those beds. The beds themselves were very comfortable. We travel alot and I think it is a Kiwi thing, My two cents worth.
