The staff member Stephanie ,on duty when we arrived after a very long day of driving was exceptional in every way. We had several electrical problems in our room and she acted promptly to resolve and assist us . She was professional and empathetic and ultimately moved us , even helped us pack up and move to a different room. We highly recommend her can do service with a smile. The hotel was in a great location with great in room facilities.

Overall the property was clean and neat. The dishes needed a good was not a simple wipe out. But I booked for the restaurant for dinner, the cooked breakfast to room and room service non of which were available due to being closed over the new year period. So this should have been advised or allowed me to cancel with refund.
