Comfortable bed. We stayed in the older hotel and if you wanted ice you had to go about a block away to the newer hotel to get it 😧. The price was ridiculously high for what I would say was a very nice 2 star hotel.

The room was fine... clean and a decent size. It was very loud both above us and outside in the parking lot as you can hear pretty much everything going on in the rooms around you. I think we must've had a herd of elephants in the room above us or they were rearranging the furniture all night lol. I'm not one to complain, but even for me it was a bit much. Paid for an upgraded room that I thought was upstairs, management didn't care but Expedia made it right. Overall we got what we paid for I guess.
