If you are traveling with kids or friends make sure you get the 2 queens room. If the only option is King with sleeper couch, choose another hotel. There are two within walking distance. Sleeper couch mattress was so bad you are just sleeping in springs. No rooms were available to switch so we were stuck with two very uncomfortable nights.

I booked a "Two Queen Beds Room" online. Two Beds feature is critical for us when choosing hotel and room. However at checking in, the front desk said they (hotel or Expedia) over sold the two beds room but can only provide me One Bed Room, and add a folding bed in the room. The folding bed is horrible and the mattress quality is cheap and uncomfortable. At checking in, I insisted to get the room type I booked but could not get it. I checked online and found the one bed room is usually cheaper than the two beds room. However at checking out, they charged me more than online reservation.
