Hotel location was great! The hotel sofa cushions in our suite were very stained and didn’t stay on the sofa. Some of the light fixtures where u plugged when arriving to room first time but not big deal we plugged in and everything worked. My wife said it was one of the most comfortable beds she has ever stayed in!
