Disliked: Amenities
The “premium suite” is TERRIBLE. It is advertised as a king bed but instead is a small queen. There is no ventilation, and none of the windows open, we were coughing and sneezing all night. We ended up canceling and checking out early our second night and they refused to refund us, even with the false advertising and lack of ventilation. I’m sure there is a building code violation there, I will ask the city to look into it.
