I asked for the rollaway bed at this location that was pretty bad. I can feel all the springs and was hurting real bad. That bed was not at all usable.

Hotel isn’t bad at all. I just seemed to hear everyone walking and stomping on the floor above my room. The more I thought about it, I wouldn’t be surprised if the folks under me heard every step I took. Don’t know what the floors are made of, but it was weird. OTHERWISE, everything was good.

Not so good. Accused of sneaking dog in but we didn’t. Came through the front and used elevator right by lobby. We also went downstairs to take them out and walked out the same way when we checked out. Not sure what they’re talking about.
