Breakfast had a good variety. The beds were comfortable. The towels were very thin, the soap provided wasn’t good.

It was a short driving distance to everything. Staff was very attentive. We had technical issues in our room, so we were moved to another room. Breakfast protein choices (meat & eggs) rotated daily. We had a lot of choices.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The service was extremely extremely poor. To start off, during the check in, the gentleman at the front basically threw us our cards and it wasn’t until I called him out, did he apologize. Then on our third day stay, all of the lights were off basically all morning and it wasn’t until we went down to the lobby

Staffs listen but failed to welcome cordially. Responds ok but cleaning lady can't speak English. Cleaning schedule also once in 3-4 days - Requested many times which is not convenient. Entering and Exiting premises very tight . Need sign clear. Noisy in the night and early morning.
