Checked in late. The front desk assistant. Chael(sorry don’t know how to spell her name) was great. Made it comfortable checking in late and didn’t make it awkward.

The sofa bed wasn’t comfortable, we were looking for a suite with 2 queen beds instead but we didn’t see any options similar to that. Everything was great though!!!
