Mouse poop on floor. The bed was broken underneath, just barely holding together. TV didn't work. Fortunately, we were not in the room much other than to sleep.

I was pleasantly surprised with our room and how close it was to the lake. Very cute place. I was able to get a beautiful sunset picture. We had trouble with the heater in our room. It was very hot and we could not get it to cool down to a comfortable room temperature, so we just turned it off.
