My husband wasn't feeling well on our check in day, so they let us check in a little early. That was super nice and they didn't have to do that. Also, we had an issue with the TV that night, but staff came right away and got it fixed for us. The beds were a little hard and pillows small but overall, I would recommend!!! Thanks!"
