The staff - two most notable were the gentleman running the breakfast buffet who was very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast offered was a nice assortment of various foods such that anyone, regardless of dietary restrictions, could find a nice breakfast to start their day. The other was the front desk clerk on the first morning of our stay (Friday morning. December 26th at 6:30 a.m.). She was so helpful and accommodating. She didn't act put out when we asked for help and was quick to assist us with sincere friendliness. We did not catch her name. but had hoped to thank her and leave her a tip; however, she was not on duty on Saturday morning. Both of these individuals deserve a raise! They are an asset to your hotel ~ Please give them a special commendation for their excellent service on our behalf.
