The hotel was great. CeeCee at the front desk is so nice. Now for the rant that has nothing to do with the hotel: EXPEDIA - get your act together and pay these hotels so people can check in quicker! I booked this hotel an hour before I got there and it still took another 30 minutes before Expedia paid the hotel so I could check in!
