Breakfast Staff Poor Customer Service

Breakfast staff was awful and should be fired! The staff would not allow me to get a muffin that was already out for grabs. We needed to leave the hotel before the 6am opening to take my wife to the hospital for surgery. The staff said 6 o’clock three times; I got the message loud and clear. I tried to explain but she didn’t want to hear it. She’s definitely not customer oriented, poor customer service!

Initial room smelled bad but they moved us to another room that was much better (after some pushback). Was disappointed with the quality of the breakfast…cold eggs, tater tots and sausage when it was fresh at 6am. Hotel was fine but nothing special. On a positive note the bed was comfortable and slept well!
