The hotel was in general ok. Couldn’t really enjoy the amenities due to the lack of time ( only stayed 1 night). My only 2 complaints would be the cleanliness of the bathroom wasn’t the greatest and the price for the quality. Wouldn’t pay $200/night again.

I booked a room online for a king size bed. When i arrived i was told there were no rooms available except one. This room had two queen size beds that was not an issue. I was unhappy that i had a shower that was for wheel chair access not a normal shower. Not to mention the water got everywhere. Also i had to call the front desk twice just to get an ice bucket? You should not list you have availability online for a king size bed and then when you arrive are told something diffetent.
