The staff was really excellent, and did a lot to make us feel at home. My only complaint is that the wifi was spotty, but to be fair, we didn't say anything and the staff had no opportunity to fix it. It's a perfect place to stay if you aren't planning to spend much time in the hotel, which we were not.
