The room served our needs for the night. It was able to fit our family of 7. The beds were great, the pull out couch was bent but didn’t bother us. Though there were many stains on the mattress. Other than that the room was clean and what we needed after a long day of travel. The to-go breakfast was great and easy to obtain.

Stayed 1 night

The pull out couch bed was broken and had sharp metal exposed. I was not told of this before we arrived. The end of the couch bed turned up as well because the metal supports were broken. The front desk said you can still sleep on it. They also could not give us keys to the room because their machine was broken. There was no cancellation policy once the property was booked, probably because if people research the property more they would cancel. The balcony walkway was dirty and not level. They did eventually give us another room after much discussion because I said the broken pull out couch was dangerous and unacceptable. I was traveling with small children and did not want them getting cut on the metal. They initially offered a roll away bed to replace the sofa bed but that would not have accommodating two people and there really wasn’t room for it in the room.

The breakfast is very basic. We stayed in the biggest room because of the sofa bed, but it didn't work, the legs of the sofa bed were broken. The hotel must replace it, otherwise no advertise it, because without it, the room is like every other room just with 2 queen beds.
