At the time, one of the elevators was out of order, but it wasn't too impactful thankfully. Staff was super friendly, and the breakfast was great. The pancake conveyor belt machine was a bit weird and the pancakes were a bit gummy, but the novelty was interesting. Bonus for having a checkout at noon as opposed to the industry standard of 11am.

A hello around every corner.
Staff were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and willing to assist. Our room for the most part was clean. We mentioned to the front desk a small mess in the bathroom and they offered a new room and accommodations. Not that big of a deal so we stayed where we were at. Hotel was otherwise very clean with many staff on board to make it so. Everyone greeted with a friendly hello. Beds were very firm so not great if firm isn’t your thing. This was not a deal breaker for us. Loved the pillows though! We worked out in their quaint exercise room and had breakfast from their complimentary buffet providing many options for our specific diet. I would definitely stay here again. ❤️

Dirty
Good the lady in the front desk when I arrived was good.
I can believe the lady at the end wasn't good in treatment.
Specially when I tell her my complain about the dirt in the shower.
