The overall appearance did not match the photo layout on the website. It was extremely misleading. The elevators were small, the rooms were small, mattress extremely uncomfortable. The only good thing about my stay was the staff and food. The staff was amazing the moved like a well oiled machine ...I shared my concerns with the general manager and he advised that I reach out to your company with my concerns. The renovation were in process and it spoiled my entire visit. i did not see the notice pertaining to that on the website. At this point I want a FULL refund, due to the website being misleading.
