The entire staff was Wonderful! (front desk, restaurant staff, cleaning staff), They all were very kind, helpful and were so nice to our special needs son! The food in the restaurant was delicious -breakfast and dinner! The room amenities were great (microwave, coffee pot and refrigerator) The only issue was it got noisy in the hall at night - most likely because the pool was on our floor. But overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely return to this hotel!
