I really enjoyed staying at this hotel! Melissa was the desk clerk who checked us in, and she was amazing! She was so friendly and polite, and seemed liked she loved her job. The bed was one of the most comfortable beds i have slept in at a hotel. The breakfast was good, as well. However, I was disappointed when i didn't see a waffle maker and the pancake machine was broken.
