loved 317 King suite and everything about it except the bed. The mattress is pretty worn which gives me hip pain within just a couple hours. It was very nice to be a walk away from the event center for an amazing concert

The room smelled and was extremely humid. The bathroom and tub floor made you feel as if you were going to fall thru. We checked in late as we live 3 hours away and within an hour and a half chose to drive home

Be more considerate, if its your fault.

I was very disappointed that I had to wait 1hour and 30 minutes for the 3pm check-in. They did not accommodate me with anything to address their shortcoming.
