We’ve stayed at this location many times. This time our room was switched from a king to two queens without a closet. We were in town for a cocktail party and almost all of our clothes were hang ups. I asked if we could upgrade and pay the difference but was declined. I checked online later and there were still rooms available. The bartender was very rude. He was coming off his shift and continued to eat his food when we walked up then was very unfriendly.
