Very kind staff. The woman at the front desk is a gem. I had a great food recommendation from her!
The breakfast was not terrific but I didn’t expect it to be! Hotel breakfasts are almost always cold eggs.

Great staff, clean rooms, love the bigger bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and body wash.
The only ice machine that worked was on the first floor and we were on the 3rd floor. Chlorine was strong as well for the pool. That was the first thing I smelled when we walked into the hotel.
