2 beds are not better than one

We had a reservation for a room with a queen bed. We arrived at the location the desk clerk said she couldn’t find our reservation. I provided my ID, the email confitming the reservation and… the detail from my bank showing the charge. She insisted that we didn’t have one even though I provided all of the necessary docs. We stood at the desk for over an hour while she said she was figuring it out. We finally got a room but not the room we reserved. She knowingly gave us a room with 2 full size beds. Not what I paid for and not big enough for 3 people to sleep in. She never once apologized for the inconvenience.

It’s a clean and comfortable room. However the walls are a bit thin and you can hear the noise in the neighboring room and especially the water and sink usage next doors.

Nice stop for the night. Room was small but we went to eat at a grea brewery with a food truck so didnt spend much time there. Beds were comfy, room on second floor was dark, air conditioner was quiet.
