The hotel features family rooms. Big fluffy gray towels and roomy hot shower. Comfy bed and different pillow options. Mini fridge with freezer so I could refreeze my ice packs. Appreciated the microwave. The floor in the bathroom was not cold at all and kinda cushy - that was such a surprise perk. Parking close to stairs up to room. Wifi was truly free and didn't have to sign up for anything, just put in the password.
