Room was good, but shower temperature adjustment was not the best. Took a while to get warm/hot and then had to adjust as it would get too hot. Service did come right away to fix it and was much improved. Otherwise, okay overall.

Everything was great, the front desk was helpful and super friendly. However, there was a huge spider above one of the beds that we had to capture and release in the courtyard. Someone identified it as a recluse, so I hope they spray repellant for future guests.

Bed is extremely hard. The carpet in the hallways is very thick which makes pulling luggage difficult.
