I would love to give this a 5 star but for two things. First, the shower door leaked and more importantly, the door is so difficult to open/close that you have to slam your shoulder against it to make it open. And it makes a loud noise at that time. Fix these two items and it’s a 5 star review!

Booked a room with 2 queen beds and 1 sofa bed 2 weeks before the trip. Didn’t get what I booked unfortunately. Ended up with 1 king and sofa bed which was not comfortable for 5 people. Stuff was nice though.

It was good except for the morning I asked the front desk to have our room made up within the following four hours. When we came back, the room was not yet cleaned. I had to go back down and ask that it be cleaned. Annoying.
