Lovely and convenient
First, the only difference between the listing and the room was the bedframe, but I had to be honest! Gorgeously comfortable bed, though. Everything was lovely, we loved being right in the middle of the mall. Other than the street noise (which was expected and not unreasonable) it was nice and quiet. Check in was smooth and communication was clear. If we are ever back in the area, we would stay here again!
