Booked a room with 2 queen beds and 1 sofa bed 2 weeks before the trip. Didn’t get what I booked unfortunately. Ended up with 1 king and sofa bed which was not comfortable for 5 people. Stuff was nice though.

I would love to give this a 5 star but for two things.
First, the shower door leaked and more importantly, the door is so difficult to open/close that you have to slam your shoulder against it to make it open. And it makes a loud noise at that time.
Fix these two items and it’s a 5 star review!
