Modern convenient remodeled 2 queen room

We had an excellent stay. The room had a sofa and a TV that can be tilted towards bed or sofa. The kitchenette and corner desk was handy. Breakfast choices were good. The only con for me was the mattress i felt sagging a little bit in the middle but it was queen size and i was able to adjust with it. Other than that everything else was great.
