Night front desk staff was grumpy, day and afternoon front desk staff was nice. Left my Kindle in my room at checkout and it disappeared. When we got home after checkout I realized and night staff were very unfriendly and unhelpful. Told me to call back in the am so I did and he was more helpful. Even let a friends check the room for me but it had already been cleaned and wasn't there.

The staff was very welcoming. All details of the room, amenities, and free breakfast were explained to me so well, I had no questions to ask. Our room was clean and I even noticed that housekeeping came the next day, which does not happen at other hotels since COVID. This was a great place to stay and I definitely would recommend.

Honest review!!

bathroom could have been cleaner, front desk staff was nice. Sadly one of the women working the breakfast was rude when I asked her a question. No it wasn’t because of a language barrier because I am latina and so is she. I heard her speak spanish so I asked in spanish. She was not only rude to me but to my mother as well. Gave dirty looks. The food was also very mid. Basically severed the same thing the whole weekend. None of the food was like the ones in the pictures. Personally I booked it for the the rate and the included breakfast. I think i rather pay else where with nicer breakfast staff and better food even if it means spending more. Other than that decent hotel.
