David Apr 16, 2026 04:52:15 AM

Summary: Room smelled old and Dusty. I paid for a room with a queen and a single. I got a supposed upgrade to one room with a queen. Was not happy. The bed was concave. The water pressure in the shower was awful. I had to jump up and down just to get wet. The hotel itself is beautiful but the rooms are not worth a night's stay.
