The room was super clean. The bed was terribly uncomfortable, had a huge dip on the middle of it which made sleeping difficult. The breakfast is great and the staff is super friendly.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. I have to give a shout out to Rob at the front desk. I had lost my expensive earbuds and he went out of his way to help me look for them, including going through the trash in the breakfast dinner area item by item in the thought may have accidentally tossed them in the trash with my breakfast leftovers. He found them! I am very grateful.
