Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We had however woke up late but still before the stop time for breakfast and went down and ate with being done at 0905 but the gal who was apparently supposed to be off at 0900 was a bit rude and slamming things around but we had not gotten in until after 0200 so we needed to sleep at sometime. The food however was excellent just didn’t appreciate the attitude by that particular employee. Everything else was excellent—5 stars other than this great place and was a great stay. I would recommend this hotel to friends
