My family and I had a wonderful stay!! Luz made us feel especially at home, it was a delight to see her every morning! The front desk staff, housekeeping and maintenance was absolutely a joy to be around. It felt like home away from home. We enjoyed the delicious breakfast, they had many options including hot food which was extremely helpful since we were traveling with kids! Parking was very easy & the coffee at the lobby was very convenient and tasty! The rooms were spotless upon check-in and the beds and pillows were so soft and cozy!! The microwave and mini fridge were a lifesaver!!! I have nothing but great things to say, we had a lovely stay!
