Shout out to the morning/afternoon front desk staff 10/25 that moved my girlfriend and I to a similar room that had natural sunlight. We both struggle with depression and natural sunlight helps us a ton in the mornings. I overlooked this in the booking process and picked a room that didnt work for us, the front desk staff were understanding and so friendly. It sounds silly to make such a big deal about it but it was a really big deal to us
