That's about it.While there was an HD, flat screen TV in the room, the property, apparently, does not subscribe to HD cable, so we had to watch the Olympics (it was Opening Ceremonies) on fuzzy analog.There are no electrical outlets in the bathroom and the hairdryer is the small, travel size....MoreTripAdvisor.com8/26/2012 We had a back patio with small table and chairs, small fridg, microwave....beautiful updating, clean and tidy....MoreTripAdvisor.com8/2/2012 My room had a microwave and fridge.The fitness room was very air-conditioned with new looking well-maintained equipment....MoreTripAdvisor.com7/23/2012
