Pros +

Cons -
- Outdated rooms
- Bed very uncomfortable. Not clean there were candy wrappers stuffed behind the couch and under the table.
- The one room only had pillows for one bed and none for the other bed or for the hide a bed, When asked the staff for more pillows was told that they would put in a request to housekeeping, this was at 9:00pm. I then messaged and they brought pillows. Room 433 the shower curtain rod was loose. Room 434 the table legs were loose.
