The front office staff went out of their way to help with any questions and were super friendly.Rooms were nice although I thought room service/ clean would have been good.I was there 5 nights and even if it's after 2 or 3 nights it would have been good.Overall though I enjoyed my time there.

Enjoyable Stay
We arrived around noon at the hotel, our room was not available, but was able to store our luggage. Room was comfortable with all that we required for our overnight stay. We really enjoyed the Happy Hour especially by the wonderful service we received from the two personable young ladies. Sorry our memories aren’t good at remembering names, but one of the young ladies was from Chile and the other from Sardinia. The food we ordered went very well with our drinks.
