Nice hotel but bed not comfy!

This hotel is located across from Mercy One and adjacent to Wells Fargo Arena. First impressions were that it’s a well kept, nice hotel! Front desk staff were welcoming with a quick check in. The room was also clean with a desk, chair/ottoman, and TV, toiletries in bathroom. The bed was not very comfortable, I tossed and turner on this mattress, however the linens and pillows were great. The BF area was staffed and had the standards available: scrambled and hard boiled eggs, waffles, sausage, bagels, toast and muffins, fresh fruit and yogurt as well as juice and coffee. I would stay here again, but the bed was really an issue for me.
