Our queen room was relatively spacious, it had lovely natural light and a hillside of nisturtiums out the back window. The pool and spa were perfect and it was great having the restaurant across the parking lot, we got breakfast there in the morning. We got an amazing price for the night and had a great little staycation at the Atwood hotel!
