Room 505 needs a new bed, it caved in the middle and very worn. Disappointing. Additionally bedside lights did not work

TownePlace Suites by Marriott Minneapolis Downtown/NorthLoop
Except for the night front desk guy, everything was amazing as usual. I stay there when I am in downtown Minneapolis and I have never been disappointed. The property and the entire staff except for that night desk guy go above and beyond and are absolutely amazing.
