Liked: Staff & service
I booked a room with two Queen beds and was given a room with a Queen bed and a pull out couch. I had to sleep on the pull out couch and it was terrible. The hotel said they had no other rooms after making this mistake when we checked in, but the next morning the gentleman checking us out said there was rooms and they could have just given us two separate rooms.
