We loved the location, the hotel itself was wonderful and very clean and the staff was friendly, helpful, welcoming and professional. It would have been perfect but the beds…twins put in king frame were HORRIBLE! 2/3 of the bed on both sides sloped outward, obviously from folks sitting on the sides of the beds that we were in a hole and could not sleep on1/3 of the bed. When we slept on our side our knees hit the bed frame and then surpassed it as the mattress was so compressed. My wife ended up with hip and back pain and slept just a few hours each night.
