The beds were terrible to sleep in, The kids (teenagers) beds were given a fold out sofa to sleep in we ended up putting the mattress on the floor with several blankets off the bed so they could have a decent sleep. For $1000 for 3 nights it was not cool at all. The lady that was cleaning the rooms was really nice.

Nice clean room. The hallway outside room was a bit dingy looking so was surprised to have a nice room.
