"Overall, a very enjoyable stay. Had some issues with my reservation, but that was on Expedias side. The staff were very nice. And because of all the issues that I had they gave me a voucher for the bar for one drink, which I appreciated. The only thing I will say is the bed had a few small stains here and there, and I found some hair in them both as well."
