Perfect for our weekend stay with our small dog. Air con wasn't super efficient, may need service and filter check .Bed was very comfortable and a decent size. Couch could be more comfortable, but otherwise everything was great. Loved the big fridge too! Super quiet location despite being close to Lakefront.
