The room was great! But the pull out couch was so uncomfortable and very thin. Could feel every single spring in that mattress. Plus there was a huge blue paint stain on the coushin. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom was clean. The room said it could sleep seven. But it could barely sleep 5 bc of the pull out matress

Close, but no cigar.

Pretty nice, but two negatives. First, there are actually somewhat comfortable hideabed mattresses; unfortunately, this hotel did not have one. Second, a pretty meager "breakfast"; not even any fresh fruit.
