Meh….

Room was fine and bed comfortable. One of the TVs did not work and hall smelled a bit funky. The pantry to purchase drinks and snacks was virtually empty which sucked.

Somehow I had a handicapped room, not sure if I booked incorrectly but the staff transferred me to a suite the next morning. They were very gracious and understanding about it.
