Would have been great if beds were better!
Pros:

Staff was super friendly and helpful

Cons:

The beds were supposed to be queens I’m 5’ 110 pounds and my husband is 6’4” 250 we didn’t fit comfortably enough in bed to sleep. My husband had to sleep at an angle. No way these are queen beds! Plus they were hard as brick!
Terrible night.

Cons:

The front desk attendee, white male with glasses. His attitude was horrible. Informed him that upon arrival to the room, in the bathroom there was a broken piece on the tub and he brushed it off like he did not care. On checkout also I formed front desk and he took care of it.
