loved 317 King suite and everything about it except the bed. The mattress is pretty worn which gives me hip pain within just a couple hours. It was very nice to be a walk away from the event center for an amazing concert

Be more considerate, if its your fault.

I was very disappointed that I had to wait 1hour and 30 minutes for the 3pm check-in. They did not accommodate me with anything to address their shortcoming.
