"The staff was extremely helpful with any questions I had. The room was clean. They were packed on several of the days I stayed and stilled seemed to keep everything organized and the breakfast bar as full as possible for all the customers. If we reported something, like the coffee was empty, they fixed it immediately!!! I would stay here again no questions asked!!!"
