Front staff was amazing! However the housekeeping staff was not the friendliest and the carpet in the room was really gross. They only gave 2 towels per room and it was difficult to get more.

The place was very nice & roomy. Front desk was very nice and accommodating considering she was all alone while so many people were waiting in line trying to check in. The only complaint we had was that the guests who stayed on the same floor had several children runaround between room slamming doors all evening through next morning!
