Hotel Overbooked
I was booked for two nights and when I checked in was told they over booked and inconveniently sent me to another hotel. I travel frequently and use a 3rd party for reservations, I’ve never had this happen before.

The room was a little more rundown than I expected - finish was worn off of the bedside tables, sheets weren't tucked into the sides of the bed when I checked in. Staff was amazing.

The hotel location was great with its access to the Skywalk system. The staff were amazing & very helpful. The hotel looked great. Everything was very clean. And, breakfast was delicious!
However, the beds were VERY uncomfortable. We hardly got any sleep. The mattresses and pillows were worn down. Plus, the beds creaked loudly with even the slightest move.

We got in very late after a long drive and it was so nice to have a clean, safe place to sleep. My only hiccup was because we were so late for check in the night staff was not happy with us and seemed a bit irked at having to check us in at 11:00 pm.

The property is clean. Breakfast included is always appreciated and was good. Our air conditioning was broken which was a bummer. Overall, a fine stay.
