Our check-in was politely and personably messed up, leading to various people running around the building trying to get things squared away, and leaving me with an underlying concern that our final bill might be someone else's bill. (Spoiler alert: Check-out was a breeze.) One hopes the break down events were noted, and the path to avoiding them in the future was duly ascertained and committed to the correct process set.
The first thing we noted in our suite was that there were no towel racks at the vanity sink, a first as far as I can remember. As time wore on, we had problems with a phone being dead (there are two) and then not dead. We found a dead socket after the clock died. We did not get our first wake-up call, which may or may not have been connected to the dead phone, which came back to life later. At any rate we are now in the 21st Century, as that event drove my principal traveling companion to master the alarm clock on our sort-of-smart phone. There was an oversized closet with five hangers and a safe.
The suite was spotless, and the two AC/Heating units were, to us, whisper quiet.
There was an off-screen channel guide to help navigate the local array of about sixty channels, and, as there are two flat screens, this did help.
The suite essentially contained a microwave-based kitchenette, including an eating counter with three chairs, and this is why I say it has more to do with a family on extended stay. I have an earlier review that talks about a writing desk in a regular room, and the kitchenette counter, with its notably higher surface, had to do for that. I personally think a road warrior might have to be somewhat creative to work comfortably in the suite, while a regular room might work out better. I made do with the counter for my minor activities.
It did appear that the sofa could open to a bed.
While we made no use of the free continental breakfast, we much enjoyed it on an earlier visit.
Check-out was a breeze.
