All staff were kind and attentive. The room and hotel property were clean. They were so great answering questions. The breakfast buffet was better than any other we have been to and a nice dining area. Nice towels and bed linens. Thank you for not entering our room daily, it was nice to just request clean towels and new trash bags. It would be nice if the room could have a small table and 2 chairs instead of the couch/divan and padded table that was in the extra area. The bathroom walls, and under the sink/counter could be touched up. We plan to return.
