    Yes we arrived late as our advise. Got a phone call saying light would be on and door unlocked heater on. Fantastic. So we entered as did the cat. We actually enjoyed having the cat...but it growled when it was put out the door.

    Arrived late, Rachel was very welcoming and accommodating. She warmed the room for us before our arrival which was nice and toasty coming out of a freezing evening. The unit was immaculately clean. It was spacious, the most comfortable king bed....
