Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Clean room and all areas of the hotel visited. Staff extremely helpful, friendly and polite. The fitness area is a little tight and there should be sanitizing wipes for people to use to wipe down equipment when done. Kind of icky that there isn’t. The wine at the bar had been open a while so should be disposed of to provide quality beverages. But again, service and staff were fantastic so that is minor. Food was good. Overall a great stay. Thank you for the bottles of water!
