- Review: The beds are large and there are 3 to choose from if your group is small (there were just 2 of us) try having everyone test out a bed. We found them to be like goldilocks: one was too firm for us, one was too soft, and one was just right. There are several single beds as well that we didn't need to try out. The sitting room feels like a museum with all the knick-knacks and books. The heated floors are a blessing on chilly mornings and the heat in general works super well., by James, November 14, 2026, rated 10/10 Excellent
