Only negatives are in regards to the room itself: the decor seems a little dated, the tv was in an awkward position, the pillows were very very flat, and the mattress was horrendous- you can feel the springs. Other than that, the staff was so nice and the lobby area is gorgeous and they had very yummy cupcakes!
