"Our room was clean and spacious. There were a few things that either weren’t working correctly or not working at all in the first room we were given, but the staff quickly moved us to a different room where things were working. It was nice having a restaurant on site. The hotel is in a good location, close to a lot of things. Our bed did not have fitted sheets and the flat sheet they used kept coming off the bed throughout the night so that made for some restlessness at night trying to put the sheets back in place as they were wrapping around us or we were sleeping on the mattress pad."
