I was upgraded to a bigger room so that was very nice as it gave me more room to move around. The room are clean and bright, nice bathroom mirror with light and defog feature. I liked the mobile table that neatly tucked under the entertainment table when not in use, and stocked cupboards with plates and utensils, hot plate, fridge, microwave, Keurig machine, and toaster. Very nice!

Very upset
I booked 2 nights at this property and because of reasons beyond my control, I was not able to make the trip. I phoned the hotel to cancel my reservation. I was told that I was too late to cancel for a full refund and they would retain one nights cost. I had fully intended to make the trip. The booking agent I dealt with has kindly refunded one nights cost and contacted this property to cover the other night of which they refused. In addition to our room for two nights, our group booked 3 more rooms. The whole experience has been very stressful where it needn't have been.
