First off I paid for one king bed and ended up with two queen. Second, the bed I slept on was like a board. The girl at the front desk who checked me in was lovely and made check in fast and easy but I didn’t know there wasn’t an elevator before she told me. So after lugging my stuff to the second floor room I was given that I discovered had two queen instead of one king bed in it, it would have been a lot of work effort and time to go get another room.
