The check in process was terrible! After waiting in line for about 15 minutes. We were giving an occupied room. Then we were given a room with one bed when I reserved two. The person checking us in was trying to blame me for booking the wrong room. I had my confirmation number so he changed it. The room was nice but the process of dragging all our stuff up and down three times was ridiculous.
