I am usually not one to complain as there is too much negativity in comments already so I am just going to share the good and bad. The good: Close to everything and centrally located. Bedding was nice. Bid kitchen with full size fridge Ac works great The bad: Beds are like concrete Shower heads either spray everywhere or fall apart No water pressure. According to the front desk only 1 pillow per person, we asked for extra and were denied. Some rooms have safes and others don’t. Overall: We very much enjoyed the area but I would not stay here again due to the amount of pain I was in after trying to sleep on the beds. We stayed in 2 separate rooms so I know it was not just the one room we were in.
