Everything was great from the front staff, housekeeping, and those that prepared breakfast. My only two minor complaints would be the small bathrooms in a king size room( felt like a cruise ship bathroom) and they need to update the furniture in the rooms! So yes definitely a solid four star!

Disliked: Staff & service
TV remote didn’t work correctly. Water pressure in shower and hot water were terrible. I asked to change rooms and the front desk said they would be able to after more rooms were cleaned. She said she would call me and let me know when that happened. They never contacted me. Poor customer service.
