The bed was definitely not a queen. My husband and are thin ppl and we barely fit. My husband’s feet hung off the end and he is 6”1’. Also our room was by the mechanical room and the noise kept waking us up.

The check in was a fantastic experience, the staff were professional, courteous and kind. It is a rare thing to have professionals behave in the way the staff at this hotel behave. The hotel is good, the people are remarkable and the best part of any stay. In every interaction there was kind and honest information. The staff at this hotel deserve the highest recognition.

Hotel location was great. The elevator stopped working after first day there and we had to wait 15+ min to go up to our room. Very inconvenient and they seemed to do nothing about it.
