"When we first got there, we had asked to switch rooms because the room we got was extremely small, and there were multiple things falling apart with the room. Once we upgraded our room, the room was perfect. It had enough space and seemed to be a more updated room. The staff was incredible and so nice and helpful throughout the hotel however, the check in staff weren’t very friendly (except for Laura). Overall we had a great stay"
