The guy who checked us in was weird and rude. We were trying to purchase laundry detergent from him and as we walked up to pay, he grabbed it and then a woman walked in. He told us he was going to check her in first, handed us back the laundry detergent and said for us to go about our business. What does that even mean? I’m trying to wash my clothes and can’t until I purchase soap. Accessing our room was strange because we had to go inside the building and then exit it again to get to it. The pool closes at 9pm which is the earliest I’ve ever seen. We had to race from the restaurant back to the hotel to use it. Pool was very nice though! The room was good. Had good quality shampoo and conditioner. Small bathroom but did the job. The location was great as we needed somewhere close to the train.

The staff checked us into our room. Which took a very long time due to them "being busy and not able to log in ". After entering our room, we noticed they gave us two queens instead of the king room we paid for. When we talked with the front desk. They verbalized that they failed to notify us of the change in the system due to over booking and construction. They then apologized and looked for a king room. This process took about 45 minutes start to finish and made us late to our reservation. Very unprofessional and they didn't seem to be worried about wasting our time.
