Our bed came with three blankets which I thought was a little odd, but during the night it became a little chilly and I was happy to have the extra blankets. We happened to overnight while a large wedding was scheduled so breakfast was really busy and quite noisy with lots of little kids running around. The staff realized that we were not comfortable with the chaos and accommodated us and alleviating my anxiety. This is definitely a must stay destination while visiting this side of the country. "
