Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
We specifically chose a non-disabled room but when we arrived the front desk told us there were no other rooms left. We had no other choice but to take the handicapped room. Unfortunately both my husband and I stubbed our foot on the couch setup in the night. Not a good experience and not good service from the front desk who was more k treated in reading her book than serving customers.
