We felt misled by the bed description. We went out of our way to choose king beds throughout our 17 day trip & this was the only hotel that did not have a king bed for us. They said that it was a “European king.” We did not find that at any other hotel. The bed was a queen. My husband is 6 feet 8 inches tall and has linebacker shoulders so the bed was a tight fit for us. Other than that, the hotel was nice. The rooms were large; the staff friendly and helpful & the food was delicious. They should, however, be more clear in the bed description. I would not have booked the room if it was not a king bed.
