No king beds. Only queens. Cheap toilet paperPros- Pet friendly, Location was excellent, Overall clean, Shower pressure was good. Furniture was not that bad and there was enough of it. Plenty of room overall. But most of all huge TV with access to Direct TV & Netflix etc. We dont spend time in room except at night to watch TV & sleep. TV moved it from 4 star to 5\.
