Shaky at the start, well...

Liked: Everything was fine about our stay. The location was beautiful and very close to our destination for the subsequent day. Hotel is clean and new. Beds were comfortable.
Disliked: When checking in, hotel staff informed me that they did not have the room I'd booked due to some recent maintenance issue and they needed to bump me to a single king suite instead. We had been traveling 9 hours to reach the hotel, we were tired, and we are a family of 5. I asked for a pull out, at least, because, where 2 queens could accomodate 4 of us (oldest child likes to sleep in the hide-a-bed pull-out,) 1 king bed wasn't going to accommodate 3-4 of us at all. I responded that I needed to go out to talk it over with my family to see if they wanted to try to get other accommodations. The desk attendant apologized profusely and offered to waive the parking fee and give us a discount. I spoke to my family and we decided we'd make due with the pull-outs.When I got back, the attendant decided to give us another room that matched our original request (and, subsequently, to bounce an even later guest whom they had assigned that room to ?) So... in the end, it panned out (for us at least.) But the check-in experience, overall, was disappointing. Meeting that after a 9 hour drive didn't put me in a great mood to say the least. As for the parking and discount...guessing I paid for the parking after all and I'm pretty sure the stay wasn't discounted, but I was more than satisfied that our stay would be much more comfortable at that point anyway.Pool, despite saying it's heated, was cold. My daughter enjoyed it regardless.
