When I first walked into the room it seemed like a strange set up but it turned out to be a great work arrangement. There were out EVERYWHERE! The bed was super comfy and the room temp was easy to control (we were there in a heat wave) keeping me cool the whole time! The staff was excellent!

Cons (-) The bed was not comfortable...Not enough pillows, and the air in the room wouldn't get cool enough...The view from our window was a scenic view of the roof.
