The staff was super helpful! The breakfast was really good, but I think there should’ve been someone keeping a better eye on the food as to watch when things run out. I think it’d be beneficial to have some of those refillables (pancake batter, whole milk, etc) more on hand for easy accessibility to guests! Oh and for some reason the Wifi in our room (building A) didn’t work the entire time we were checked in lol. We went to check with the front desk and they said something about an IT guy who they hadn’t heard back from, so maybe get a new IT guy. 😂 Other than those few things, we loved it!

It was a very busy weekend for the hotel, and it showed with overflowing trash cans inside and outside. Our room wasn't vacuumed thoroughly, but the rest of it was clean. The hot food at breakfast was excellent. The only thing missing was some yogurt and fresh fruit other than oranges.
