I had booked a king size bed. When they checked in, they checked me into two double beds.. when I went back up front they said they were out of king-size beds. And then I stood there with an unhappy face and they said hang on a minute, and they upgraded me to a suite.. so I was pretty pleased. They made things right. I will definitely stay here again.. Thank you
