The staff were friendly and were very good! They really tried to meet our needs. My room was clean, and the food at the restaurant tasted really good. Breakfast was excellent. I ate there every morning of my visit.
The room was a bit dated, but it was still functional. It could use a refresh, though the bed was comfy!
