It was a really neat hotel. Teenage granddaughters liked the fact that it was haunted and they checked out the north tower and some haunted rooms at night. Our room did not get cleaned but they said since COVID they clean the rooms when you check out. I was a little surprised about that.

Meluisa huone. Siivoojat varasti suklaapatukan ja limun. Ikkuna oli sentin auki eikä sitä saanut kiinni sen paremmin siivoojat kuin huoltomiehet. Mutta henkilökunta oli muuten ystävällistä.
