"The pillows were too fluffy though so I woke up with headaches unless I used a flatter pillow. I’m also allergic to maple and that’s the syrup they have so I had to bring my own. Unfortunately the laundry hours are 9-7pm, which to me is not enough hours of operation since getting to the hotel in the evening has us missing the evening time and since check out time is 11am, that kind of cuts it close for washing, drying, and packing. An 8-8 pm system would be better. Other than that that, they replenished towels, soap, made the beds when asked, and the staff was friendly! Very clean, friendly, and I can’t rave enough about how comfortable the beds were!!!"
