“Our original room was YMCA tiny, same as pre-renovation but double the price. No desk, which we needed for computer work. However, Karen of front desk saved the day by moving us to a King room. Double the size and well equipped. We went to basketball game and came back with our baggage already moved. We could now enjoy the wonderful upgrades to the public areas.”
