When we were checking out, the clerk asked if everything was okay. I challenged her to literally sleep in room 16 in that bed. It was awful! I swore if I would have flopped into bed- I would have flown my husband out of it. You can have all the pretty things in the room (great water pressure) mini fridge , nice shampoo etc… but the bed…… your stay at a hotel is all about your sleep. Make sure you ask if they upgraded the bed in room 16 before you pay.

Everything was amazing except for the actual sleeping. I was on the first floor, and the back door clanging open and shut every few minutes until past midnight by restaurant staff was extremely loud. I would definitely stay here again but would request a different floor.
