Most of the staff are very friendly and helpful to assist you with your questions or needs. The room was convenient but it was not handicapped accessible for someone requiring mobility assistance. The ice machine is located on the 2nd floor which is not convenient for a person with mobility issues. Overall I would stay again.

Will NEVER stay here again

Terrible breakfast service and rude staff. My daughter and I came down for breakfast at 9:15 when breakfast ran until 9:30. There was still plenty of food left including biscuits and sausage gravy. There was an attendant (Sarah) at the breakfast who watched me check the gravy and then get out a biscuit. After searching around for a minute I asked her where the butter was and she very rudely responded with “it’s in the fridge”. When I stepped away from my plate to get the butter, the attendant pushed around my daughter, grabbed the sausage gravy, and took it to the back room and threw it away!! This all happened before 9:20! When she came back out I asked if she was bringing out any more and she very rudely said “nope we’re done for the day”. I informed her it wasn’t even 9:20 and she continued to have attitude with me. She knew that I was making a plate of biscuits and gravy and intentionally threw it away.
