I booked a family suite with 2 separate bedrooms and a kitchen. When I checked in they gave me a key to my room. When we went into the room, it was not the 2 bedroom suite. So I went down to speak to the host who told me that the family suite was booked for 5 nights and it’s the only one they have. Plus, they were sold out for that night. He told me he didn’t know why Expedia allowed me to book that room.

The elevator is not working and from reading other reviews it has been out of service for some time. Bed was hard, so I didn't sleep well. Family room was nice and spacious, but due to the uncomfortable bed, I will not be returning. Breakfast was simple, could use some more protein options, as the only protein was hard boiled eggs.
