John was very friendly and helpful. There was a problem printing keys the night we checked in, so he had to assist everyone by taking them to their rooms to let them in. The hot tub was out of order. I would like to know why i have a $100 charge pending on my card after i checked out.

8/10 Very good

Room was very clean. Bed was good. We had some loud neighbors, but it wasn't too bad. The breakfast was extremely minimal, but there is a range of options. It was enough to take the edge off but we chose other options for the rest of our stay. Lobby was very clean and staff was always very friendly.

Staff was really helpful, especially when we left an electronic item after checkout. They walked us up to the room, and that was really great. The room itself was not bad, just sparse. Not enough pillows originally, but we were able to order some more. Again, staff delivered in a timely manner. Breakfast was pretty good.
