Disliked: Room comfort

It was decent but uncomfortable.

The staff was nice, the view was good, the hotel and room was clean. The main problem I had was the bed. It was so uncomfortable I felt like my body was hit by baseball bats when I woke up and the bed squeaked every time you would move. The linens were also not very soft, they were scratchy.
