"I ordered a room with a king bed. When I ordered the room it stated “pet friendly “. We have a “well behaved” dog. They changed our room because they said it “was not pet friendly. I’m 74 years old! Still working EMR. The room they gave us had a chair which felt like I was sitting in a hole. It , was worn out with little or no stuffing in the couch. Very uncomfortable. Staff was not friendly!! The room was clean, but I was there to regenerate and for the comfort! The comfort wasn’t there!"
