The front desk staff was friendly and no issues. However, there are no USB ports i. the room. I havent been in a hotel without USB ports in years. Apparently, this is the manager's choice. Time for a new manager imo, someone who know what century it is.

The king size bed was very comfortable, but the pullout bed for the couch had a mattress that was so thin that my granddaughters probably slept on spring. It was very uncomfortable for them. I slept on the king bed. I told you attendant on check out about the problem and he said that their renovating it takes six months to get things done I understand that but I paid almost $200 for that room that night, but of a surprise that they would offer the last room to us with that type of bedding on the pullout on the couch, very unhappy the food there wasn’t very good either, but I always consider comfort when it comes to the bedding. The king size bed was OK. It was good but again I Had to see my granddaughters sleep on something like that was not good.
