Amazing stay!!
Pros:

Liked everything about it really

Cons:

It said there was a microwave included, but there was no microwave. It was just a mini fridge. But it was not a big deal. It was an amazing stay.

Not Great
Pros:

The hotel was clean but that should be a given.

Cons:

We paid for connecting rooms but the door was blocked by a table. When I went to the front desk to ask about moving it they called maintenance and maintenance said the TV was kn the way and couldn't be moved and refused to come look (the TV was not in the way) The TV no longer has Netfliz capabilities as it used to which wouldn't have been a problem if it weren't for everything else. Construction noise didn't stop until a little after 9pm and started up again promptly at 8am ruining my children's sleep. We will not be back
