The beds were comfortable the kitchen was well stocked. Coffee and tea bar was a plus treat. The sofa upstairs was very comfortable for settling and sleeping. Only thing I would say i was disappointed in would be no recliner in the living room. The two chairs are not very comfortable for watching hours of tv. ##### jackie c.
